Splashes of brilliance

Looking for fall color along Thornton Creek's North Fork? (See Oct 20 post for fall color further south.) If you're content with splashes of brilliance instead of great swaths of color, saunter around Shoreline's Twin Ponds at 155th just west of I-5 -- and don't miss a few hidden bits of brilliance behind the tennis courts. Or check out Park #1 south of Jackson Park Golf Course, where the best color comes from maples west of 10th Ave before you drop down into the creekbed and east of 10th Ave where the creek crosses beneath the road. Enjoy the yellows and magentas of late-blooming flowers in the P-Patch while you're at it!
