Thanks, Chuck. Keep those reports coming. We expect this storm to rip whatever else might have turned from the branches.

Love this site. Colors are still decent here in the Sonoma Valley, but fading fast with this recent rain. We are t the very end of thew color season.

Carpe diem, baby!

Krish,

It entirely depends on where you’re traveling this weekend. There’s still a lot of color to be seen, though wind is its worst enemy. Traveling through the Gold Country today (Thursday), the color is exceptional, though breezes leading the storm that’s arriving have stripped some of the color. I still find beauty in it… the yellow, orange and brown leaves fluttering through the air and sprinkled along the ground like fading jewels. So, keep your attitude positive. No question, our best fall color is probably past, though pockets of color are still to be discovered and when you do find them, they’re magical! Here’s what I’d do. Look closely at the weather reports and determine where and when the storm will hit and where it won’t. Then, travel in the windows. We’ll have a report out today and tomorrow on current status.

The species name for Big Leaf Maple, is Acer macrophyllum. They are found through out the coastal redwood habitat. The tallest big leaf maple in the world was discovered this year in Humboldt Redwood State Park by Mario Vaden.

The nice thing about visiting Redwood National Park in the fall is the contrast between the evergreen coastal redwoods and the color changing of the red alders (Alnus rubra) and big leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum).
