Fall Colors in Orange County

I have three small Liquid Amber trees in my yard. They're one of the few types of trees that "turn" in Southern California (due to the warm climate here).

I was so excited to see I finally had fall colors in my yard last week. I took this photo on Wednesday:

Falls colors.

On Thursday we got hurricane force winds, with gusts exceeding 100 mph, here in my little canyon.

The leaves, with their beautiful colors, all got blown off the trees.

It was so beautiful for the short time it lasted.

At least you have the trees still. I lost my little Crepe Myrtle, and there are hundreds of old beautiful trees down everywhere here in Pasadena Sierra Madre :(
