Too Much Fall Color

Ryleigh Davalos, Los Altos (11/3/18) Anson Davalos

Ryleigh Davalos, 15 mos., seems to have had her fill of fall color in this photo taken by her dad, Saturday, in downtown Los Altos.

C’mon Ryleigh we never get tired viewing fall color, especially in California’s urban forests.

In the South Bay and Peninsula villages of Los Gatos, Saratoga, Cupertino, Los Altos, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Menlo Atherton, Redwood City and Burlingame, landscaped trees are nearing peak, and the show is now more lively than a crib mobile.

Downtown Los Altos has one of the Bay Area’s best displays of Chinese pistache, Pistacia chinensis, which have a long, vibrant display of fluorescent color.
