almost winter

I generally try to stay away from tall photos, but in some cases you just have to. This is another shot from Deep Bay a couple weeks ago. These trees speak now, but they must have had a magnificent message with their blaze of leaves before they dropped. Four seasons. I'll have to get used to that again... Oregon had two. Dry & wet. When you go from the lush green pacific coast to the dry barren Okanogan Valley, the sense is "boy, there's not much to look at here.. not very scenic". Oh, it is definitely here. Maybe not so green or pacific blue, but it is here!
