December 15: Winter is almost here

Rancho Bernardo, CA


With low temperatures drifting into the 30’s and with daily highs not quite breaking out of the 60s, it is clear that winter is almost upon us here in SoCal. My one deciduous tree, a non-fruit bearing Mulberry, is finally showing its color.

I used to have to trim all those shoots (branches?) off a couple of fruitless mulberry trees. Lots of work, but great trees. I like how the leaves on the ground "reflect" the leaves still on the tree.

Hang in there, Robin. I'm sure you'll struggle through somehow LOL

Just tough it out Robin in those wicked SoCal winters.........;)

I didn't know that you had to rake leaves in Southern California.

As long as is not white ......

Oh please! We're in the 30's now, which is a heat wave compared to the -15 we had last week...my heart is bleeding for you, sweetheart! Send some heat this way, please! Nice image though.

Robin, you're killing me!!! You saw my PAD shot! This looks like heaven!! Beautiful shot! Great colors and wonderful sunshine!

Can't quite feel sorry for you up here in Iowa either, where it has been snowing almost every day lately. Highs in upper 20s today. Sounds warm after Danny's note. But, at least your beautiful picture reminds me that it is at least warm somewhere.

Wrong season! Pretty tree. Looks like you have some raking to do.
Breland16-Dec-2005 01:33
Nice color Robin, I like the leaves on the ground.
Gayle P. Clement16-Dec-2005 01:26
Nice fall color.
Guest 16-Dec-2005 01:25
I've been worrying about my fuel gelling up at temps below zero in the mountains. This gloomy report of not quite breaking out of the 60s...doesn't quite break my heart. I don't see a 5 anywhere in this information...

Lifes tough out in the west :>)
