Natural History Wanderings

All the fall reports for California fall color say it is going to be a late year. Here is a recent one for the Eastern Sierra from last weekend by photographer Michael Frye, who publishes In the Moment: A Landscape Photography Blog

Michael wrote about his recent visit to the Eastern Sierra:

“..very few signs of autumn. Some trees here and there showed hints of color, but that’s it. It seems that fall is arriving a bit late. And we’re experiencing some warm, Indian-summer weather this week, which won’t encourage the aspens to turn. So it looks like the early-fall hotspots on the eastern side of the Sierra, like North Lake and Lake Sabrina outside of Bishop, might turn later than usual—perhaps waiting until the second week of October, rather than changing color at the end of September or beginning of October, which is more typical.”
