Tamarack

 You don't realize the number of tamaracks during the summer.

But what an autumn surprise.

Falling

 Gorgeous fall colors on the Metolious

Only You

Over two months of forest fires at the base off this mountain range.  The new snow is a beautiful relief.

What You Find In An Eddy

Knotty

 Twist and turns, weeping fern

Tight Lines

Scott's Big O' Brown

Just before dusk, Scott landed this giant

Sending him off to finish the work he was heading to do.

Helicopters in Flight

The trees, now decked in read and gold,

their splendor soon will shed.

But do not think, on winter days,

Their bare black boughs are dead.

Though autumn comes, when few birds sing,

New life will stir again in spring.

Early Frost

Lots of green tomatoes....crazy early frost

Green Cherry Tomatoes

 My first attempt at pickling green cherry tomatoes.

Hoping they taste great and add a little to my winter martinis!

Brussels

Our first year of finally growing Brussels Sprouts.  They were yummy and better than any store bought veggies we've eaten.  We'll put in several rows next year.  We love roasting these little gems in olive oil, piri piri spice and garlic.
