Late Fall in Southern California

The last of the leaves clutch to their branches before giving way to winter.

Fall in Southern California

Autumn is my favorite season of the year. Unlike our neighbors to the north that experience the real Fall Colors, we in Southern California have quite a different experience. Autumn in Southern California translates as "less hot" than the previous months. While further north, Autumn is apparent anywhere you go, you usually have to hunt for it in Southern California.

Fall into Descanso Gardens

As another summer passes, dahlias at Descanso Gardens provide a grand exit to the season, a botanical version of fireworks.



As our fall season begins, beautiful reds and oranges are beginning to be displayed by plants.
