It's Fall

On the slopes of Mt Pisgah

Cool and crisp - cold, actually; the weather has taken a turn toward fall now. I hiked to the top of Mt Pisgah with a friend on Saturday. We had to take an alternate route to the top because of an on-going logging operation on the main trail - an attempt to restore some oak savanna near the summit. I cheer those efforts on - we have plenty of second growth Doug firs and the oaks are so beautiful when they stand out on their own. To me they look like warmth and sunshine amidst the deep and dark evergreens.
