A ship is coming in and will soon pass the skeleton of what was once a fish cannery.

 

Watching... Looking for answers...

 

Let's just watch the sun go down...

 

All by itself!

 

Day is done...

 

It's so big...

 

The right spot at the right time...

And away...

 

Portrait of a gentleman on the beach...

 

Brrrrrrr!

 

Everybody loves the beach...

 

In the late afternoon, two happy dogs playing in the surf...

 

A hole in the sky!

 

Cold...

Sunshine and an active surf at Seaside!

 

Well, after all, it is a rainforest!

 

Like a magic tapestry...

 

A heavy shower and some wind took down a lot of leaves, but the ones that are left give it a festive look!

 

Passing showers, headed east...

 

Standing tall in the setting sun...

 

The beautiful meditation lake in the Olequa Heights...

Take my hand...

 

Still some colorful leaves along the Cowlitz River at the end of the day...

 

It's getting dark earlier! Bare trees along the Cowlitz River...

 

The leaves are falling. Peak color around here was about 5 days ago, although there are some vivid pockets here and there. It doesn't matter. Even when trees are bare, they are still beautiful.

 

Just a walk in the park...

 

Beautiful trees...

 

The fading leaves are falling, but the tree is still amazing and beautiful!

Nightfall...

 

The rain, the heron, and the house on the hill...

 

Colorful trees, and a colorful bridge!

 

Autumn brushstrokes

 

Early November can be beautiful in the park...

 

Spooky!

 

I wonder what's down there. Let's go!

A rainy day in the wetlands...

 

The forest holds you in its embrace...

 

Just a little waterfall right next to the road...

 

I admit it--- I take lots of pictures of the mountain that blew its top off 43 years ago. But when the last light of day hits it-- wouldn't you?

 

A cascade of Autumn color, topped with a very tiny, and very temporary sprinkling of winter...

 

A hillside tapestry...

 

Like stained glass, the leaves are glowing in a late afternoon sunbeam in the forest...

 

Looking into the caldera at Sunset...

 

A lovely meadow in the late afternoon sun-- An earlier rain left a bit of glistening moisture on the ground.

 

In the morning light, she moves silently through the water...
