Autumn in the Pacific NW

Lower Lewis River Falls
Lower Lewis River Falls, Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington State

Just wanted to post this as a celebration of my favorite season, and a reminder to everyone during what is always a busy time, to take a moment and enjoy the natural beauty around us, wherever that may be.

Cheers!

Scott

PS - I took this pic last year, how's that for cheating!

  5. Some photo! Almost too perfect if that can be so. I thought at first it was a 3D simulation. After working my way into this comment, I realize it may not sound like a compliment. But it is.
