Shufflin Through The Leaves

Leaf blowers are so powerful and efficient that leaves don’t stay piled up for long. Before there’s time to dive into a pile, they’ve been collected. So, when you happen upon a walkway strewn with dry leaves, as Ron and Michelle Pontoni did this week in Arcarta, have fun shufflin’ through them.

As for the color, though Arcata was declared past peak some time ago, Michelle’s photos show exotic Japanese maple and Gingko biloba hanging on at Humboldt State University (campus gates are closed due to the virus) and cedar waxwings and robins feasting on bunches of holly berries.

  • Japanese maple, Arcata (11/18/20) Michelle Pontoni
  • Holly, Arcata (11/18/20) Michelle Pontoni
  • Gingko biloba, Humboldt State University (11/18/20) Michelle Pontoni
  • Arcata (23′) – Peak to Past Peak – GO NOW, You almost missed it.
