Fall colors arrive in Santa Barbara County

A jet flies above a sycamore tree at Rocky Nook Park in Santa Barbara.
Never underestimate the power of a simple leaf.
By itself, a leaf adds color and grace to the world. Combined with other leaves, it blankets the land like an artist painting a landscape.
News-Press Photo Editor Rafael Maldonado found a rich variety of leaves, adding fall colors to Solvang, Goleta and Santa Barbara.
They’re bringing their color and shapes to Santa Barbara County just in time for today’s Thanksgiving holiday.
