Really gorgeous! I didn't even miss the roses. Loved the fall foliage with the beautiful hills in the background.

Ingrid

Thank you. I don't ever get to see that.

Veronica

Just beautiful. Where were you photographing? It looks a bit like Saratoga. If we don't get the rain that is predicted for Sunday, I may go on a drive myself.

Rosefolly

Those are very pretty pictures. Thanks.
Sammy

I love it. I grew up on the peninsula.

Thank you!

Rosefolly, you are right, a lot of these were taken in Saratoga.

Beautiful pics

Beautiful! Thanks for the fall foliage, Japanese maple & the fabulous curb plantings. Love it.

Sherry

These are beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I am surrounded by pine trees, so here it looks like summer still. I forget how beautiful fall can be.

As someone on another thread said and I repeat, your photos bring me out of lurking to comment :-)

The tapestry of foliage in the photos is absolutely stunning! Thank you!

BEAUTIFUL!

Thank you very much. I am so glad you liked these pictures.

Masha

Thank you so much for these lovely pictures----Fall is a favorite time for me---not only the colors but the birth of my son 56 years ago----

I love the colors and the crisp weather---just nice for a sweatshirt----

Florence

Masha,
Beautiful pictures. I especially like the enchanted forest trees in the 4th from the bottom picture.
Thanks,
Kitty

Florence,
Every time I see your name pop up, I have the image of you surrounded by your ZD rose and, it makes me smile.
Thanks,
Kitty

Spectacular photos! I love one with the the sculpted hedge and also, the expansive lawn with the luxuriating dog!
I always love your photos. Thank you for sharing them!
Sandra

Thank you.

I had no idea that Calif. had brilliant autumn colors of leaves like in New England. Red leaves AND roses. When can I move in?

Carol

Carol, we'd be delighted to have you move here! However, our native trees do not turn color, as you can see by looking at the more distant hills in those beautiful photographs. People who moved here from the east missed those colors, and sought out trees that would do well in our climate and give good fall color. The most brilliant is probably the Chinese pistache; there are a few others.

The Appalachian region of the east has just the right native trees, lots of rainfall, and sharp fall frosts that all combine to make probably the most brilliant fall color on the planet. Some of Europe has good color, too but I don't think anything is quite as blazingly bright as you find there.

beautiful, I always love the rolling hills in the san jose area.

Enchanting. Thank you for taking the time to post those. I loved seeing them.

Those were Gorgeous! Here a few from NYC Washington Square, NY Botanical & Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.

Labrea, those are lovely, too. I especially like the one with the boughs of the trees bending over the stream. I remember scenes like that from my girlhood in Pennsylvania.

Rosefolly

Thank you for the comments, and lovely pictures, labrea. The one with the reflections in the water is especially beautiful.

Masha

Wow. Much loved and properly cared-for trees, AND fall color, AND well-thought out gardens. Reminds me of all I miss here in Italy, land of summer drought and home of the Pathological Pruners' Association (possession of a chainsaw required for membership). Thanks for posting.
