Whitneyville Barrens in Autumn

On these gray, overcast days the colors seem to pop taking center stage.

Pleasant River in Autumn

The Pleasant River peaceful at high tide.

Columbia Falls in Autumn

The turbulent white bubbles at the Falls – a perfect foil for the color.

As spectacular as these colors are, they’ll likely be gone tomorrow with the wind and rain roaring outside.

Peak color in autumn is so fleeting.
