What is so beautiful about Sacramento color is the evergreen background. We have a multiplicity of trees here, and I can't begin to name them all, but Oh! the Fall colors are glorious!

There's yellow and gold, various shades of orange from pale to brilliant, and just about any shade of red you can think of from deep burgundy to bright red, and almost pink.

There's one particular area that I would photograph and later paint. But I didn't have a camera, and the scene came upon me suddenly. And I was travelling at about 65 mph, so even if I had a camera, I wouldn't have been able to snap it. Maybe Wednesday when I go back, I can find a place to pull of the road and snap the scene.

Absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous. Every one of the colors mentioned above. It will take a lot of time to paint that scene, but paint it I will.

OK, that's it. Time for 60 Minutes on TV.

Shalom
