We have had day after day after day of glorious weather.

There's no excuse - we're going for a walk. 

Isn't the contrast of the yellow Maple (a hybrid) against the green Douglas Fir extraordinarily pretty? 

Most of the Vine Maples are turning a soft yellow rather than red.

There are bits of scarlet.  Here the rose hips stand out.  

And here a trifecta of red - rose hips, blackberry leaves, and blackberry fruit.

The Sword Ferns remain sturdy and green as autumn marches along.

The Big Leaf Maples are dropping their leaves.

Our wilding Apple tree still has a few apples the deer have somehow missed. 

Some of the prettiest trees in the forest are Dogwoods.

This tree is in the deep shade and has wonderful color. 

This Dogwood is in the bright sun and has good color too.

The Cherries are just beginning to change color. 

As are the Oaks.  Nothing smells more like autumn to me than the musky smell of oak leaves.

The Hazelnuts already have their catkins in anticipation of next spring. 

October is Mushroom Time!

That's it for today - I hope you enjoyed the walk.
