This warm dry fall has resulted in an incredible color show in northern California, and particularly in Bidwell Park in the town of Chico. I can't say that I ever remember fall colors as bright and varied as this year.

Typically, there's some yellows and golds, but this year there is virtually every color of the spectrum this year, from bright yellow through orange and red, and even shades of purple. The mild weather has helped the colors stay longer because there haven't been any storms to blow off the leaves.

Enjoy! I'll post more next week.

It's that time of year again - when colors explode throughout northern California, as fall descends. This year, I decided to visit Nevada City in the Sierra Nevada Foothills to capture some of the fall colors.

Here's a sample:
