Sweet Fall

[AlanLichty]

One of my goals for this fall was to try to catch the colors near Florence Oregon as close to peak as I could get. Given the winds that typically accompany fall storms along the coast that isn't always an easy task as the winds will strip the big leaf maples with remarkable efficiency. This last week was as close as I have come yet to getting peak colors along the Sweet Creek Trail.

C&C always welcome.

Nice rainforest fall image, you really know that sweet creek area.

Sweet indeed. That is quite a flow in the creek.

Thanks Ben - I have hiked that trail quite a few times now and always seem to find more ways to shoot there.

Sweet indeed. That is quite a flow in the creek.

Thanks Jameel - From when I visited a couple of weeks ago until this last week was almost continuous rain out at the coast so no surprise the creek was moving a lot of water. I have seen higher flows during a January visit with heavy rains but the creek stops being photogenic when things get that high. Those flow levels are how logs like this one end up in places like this.

Thanks Jim - my target this trip was to catch this place at peak color and this visit came close. Many more to come.
