The Natives Are Restless

The native tree species, that is.  While our California Black Oak, Black Cottonwood, and Bigleaf Maple are barely showing signs of fall colors, a little yellow or orange here and there, the non-native maples are often brilliant red, and some are already losing their leaves.  These two shots are of a non-native maple growing by the parking lot across from Moon's.  The Thursday afternoon lighting was not the greatest, but these shots were to remind me to check out the neighborhood around sunrise for more dramatic lighting.  I finally got around to doing that this morning.  Results will follow.
