There is a glorious window of time in the Bay Area, right around Thanksgiving, when autumn is on fire in these parts. New England gets all the glory, but for those 2-3 weeks here–when the ginkos turn canary yellow and the crepe myrtle and Chinese pistache trees ripen from ruby red to brilliant orange and ocher, I don’t miss those East Coast leaves at all. And then, with one big wind- and rainstorm, they are gone. Catch the show while you can.
