Bakersfield's Fall is Less than Spectacular

It is fall, but only just barely.  Our recent highs were in the 70s and low 80s. I hosed Speedy off just a week ago; it was that warm. It's gotten a bit cooler, and rain is predicted, but I am still wearing short sleeves. I am not really complaining as it's nice to ride in a short sleeve top, but it would be nice to see your breath and hear the leaves crackle beneath your boots at least occasionally. 

Here are the best fall Images that I could find around the barn ...

There is some purpling in those distant trees.

There's a tiny bit of yellow in that tree in the background.

The mulberry tree in the middle is losing its leaves.

This is the most yellow tree on the property.

California's Central Valley does have four seasons, but only one of them is clear and distinct: summer.  Our hot season easily runs for six or seven months. Spring and fall might last a month each with winter lasting three months at most. We're all ready to see something different. How about some clouds at least?
