More Fall Colors

Temperatures continue to hover around the mid-40s and despite the forecast for snow down to about the 400-foot level we haven't seen it yet. We have had quite a bit of rain until this weekend where we're enjoyed partly cloudy, and even blue skies. Through the morning fog this one deciduous tree across the channel from us caught my eye and it was lit up very bright in contrast to the dark green of the spruce trees. By the time I got my camera out the sun had already moved past it. Most of the trees around here are Sitka Spruce and Hemlock - both conifers. The leaf-bearing trees are mostly alder and cottonwood.
