Reflections of Fall

[AlanLichty]

Fall colors can be quite subtle in the Cascades and is often confined to the ground layers around the spruce and firs. This is a good example of that during an early October visit in the Reflection Lakes area of Mt. Rainier National Park.

C&C always welcome.

Yep, you always blow my mind with these "fall" colors.

It's clearly fall as one can see from the underbrush, but I have gotten so used to the vibrant fall colors I get to capture, that it's almost like culture shock to see these.

Thanks Jim - seek out the right places along the creeks and rivers and we do get fall colors in the forest canopy but in most places west of the Cascades the evergreens dominate.

With so many evergreens, the warm colors are not that predominant. Nice light with some grasses providing the foreground interest.

Thanks - there are a lot more visible colors in the meadows above Paradise Inn than around Reflection Lakes.
