A sure sign that Thanksgiving Day is approaching is when Frank McDonough of the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Gardens in Arcadia starts sending photos of the arboretum’s grounds.

Looks like I better go order a turkey.

Frank reports it’s still early, though fall color is about 20% there, with developing reds and yellows.

The arboretum is a bellweather of approaching color in Southern California’s gardens and urban forests, and a great place for an autumn stroll.

From the looks of the garden, it’s colorful now, though will be close to perfect near Thanksgiving Day and beyond.

That means there’ll be lots of autumn color in the southland to add autumn color and mood to Thanksgiving Day festivities.
