Quick stop off at Turtle Pond

[urbpan]

On our way to the Urban Nature Walk at Malibu Beach I saw Turtle Pond and made a snap decision to pull over. The red maples are changing color and it's starting to look pretty amazing.


Along one edge you can see the smaller understory trees yellowing up too.


But for beautiful fall color I only had to look at the top of a wooden post, where British soldier lichens matched the nearby shrubs red for red.

AH!! What beautiful color. Love the red lichen, too.

Lovely photos. I like the last one especially.

The fall colors are among the things I've missed most since moving to Philadelphia--I grew up in upstate NY, and they're just not the same down here.
