Late October, 2018
Pacific Northwest
This is the season for the last of our Big Four native deciduous trees to turn color: willows. The alders are done, the maples and cottonwoods have peaked, and now the willows are the golden color we see against the dominant conifer green of the woods of the PNW.
The winter windstorms have begun, so this foliage won’t last long.
Fall colors draw the eye right now, especially knowing how ephemeral they are as the winter windstorms start rolling in off the ocean.
Sun’s out today in the Pacific Northwest after a week of overcast and rain. Breezy and cool.
