Driving to Woodland the other morning, I just couldn't help but admire the color and saturation of this almond orchard. And this is going to sound a little silly, but one of the things I'm proud of from my 2 1/2 years living here is that I can tell one orchard from another. Almonds are related to the apricot family; they flower and leaf out early in the spring. They seem to hold their leaves the longest too, but they don't grow nearly as big as the walnut trees. I have to take a back road route to drive through the orchards and I guess I've never driven this way so late in the fall. So glad I did! Love, love, love this color!
