End of Autumn in Oakland

We've been treated to our fourth dose of fall color these past few weeks, following October in the eastern Sierra, October in Kiel, and November in New Jersey.  We had some nice rains in October and November that encouraged leaves to stay long on trees, and so we've been seeing great yellows, oranges, and reds sprinkled through the hills, including out our windows.  Ingrid added a nice splash of color with poinsettias in the front window boxes.  It is raining again today and lots of leaves are dropping, so this is likely the beginning of the end of autumn in Oakland.
