Color spotter Alicia Vennos reports the Eastern Sierra was blessed with a full day and a half of rain and snow at higher elevations this past Sunday. That made fall colors stand out even more beautifully in the bright sunlight that has come out, since. The most significant color to be seen in Mono County is at […]
These are dogwood days in the Shasta Cascade as this photo of Dogwood drupes, taken by Jeri Rangel, attests. The dogwood are now laden with their brightly colored drupes, which are the flower of the dogwood tree. In springtime, the white blossoms, commonly thought to be the tree’s flower, are actually the flower’s leaves, called bracts. […]
Alena Nicholas titles these views near sunset at Lake Arrowhead, “Of Things Yet To Come.” As, there is just a bit of color change to be seen in the San Bernardino Mountains. However, following the storm seen moving across the mountains, colder nights are expected and Alena anticipates change, “sooner than later.” To those who […]
CaliforniaFallColor.com was contacted by the Auto Club of Southern California for advice on where to find fall color within an easy drive of Southern California. The advice appeared in “Falling for Color,” an article in Westways’ October number. Travel writer Paul Lasley got it right when he concluded the article by writing, “Fall color can happen […]

Jeff walked beside the Feather River to capture the above picture, stating that the colors are “getting there.” Mike Nellor found the following idyllic scene of Indian Rhubarb draping the edges of Spanish Creek near Oakland Camp on the outskirts of […]

Jeff notes that yellow quaking aspen and rosy western dogwood are nearing peak in Plumas County, though golden bigleaf maple and orange […]

Color spotter Alena Nicholas reports from a lakeside cabin at Boulder Lodge on June Lake, near where these photos were taken. Nicholas notes that June Lake is joyfully transitioning from green to yellow, though the color is still at the low end of being Patchy. When it’s drizzling, as is now happening in the Eastern […]
Editor’s note: This report is based on observations made this week. However, in the past day, light rain and wind has stripped some leaves from aspen (See Kahlee Brighton’s comment under “Baffling Brilliance”). As always, these reports can be affected by changing conditions. One of the most enjoyable ways to see California’s Fall Color is […]
