A Lovely Fall Day in Eugene

Just to prove that we DO stay home some weekends, here is a shot of the South Eugene hills on October 21st. Nice fall color this year - we're certainly not New England out here, but there are some nice deciduous trees in some of our cities as well as along the stream corridors throughout the Coast Range. Vine Maple in the western Cascades also makes for a good show. Larch in the high country of eastern Oregon and the east side of Washington's North Cascades can be amazing. Some aspen in Eastern Oregon's high country has turned to vivid yellows at this point. Wish I could get out and see it all!! Gotta hang around for those soccer games though - kids grow up too fast!
