Wind Is A-Peeling

Heavy winds lashed Northern California, yesterday, stripping many trees of turned leaves.

While driving along Blue Ravine Rd in Folsom leaves littered the road in great piles and would swirl and chase vehicles as they passed.

In Shasta County, Martha Fletcher reported the wind as peeling leaves from trees and shrubs. However, trees that had not yet reached abscission continue to hold onto their leaves.

At Fall River Mills, black oak and redbud are full of yellow, dark rust, dark orange and red. Their colors provide a beautiful contrast to the sparkling whitewater of Pit River Falls.
