Today I need to post just a few more autumn scenes. These were taken a few days ago.....it was a gray cloudy day, but the trees along the river were ablaze with color!

In a previous post, I shared some pictures of our mountain view, as seen from our house. In the fall the colors really come alive! These first three photos were taken about a half mile upriver from our house, along one of the prettiest stretches of the Clearwater River.

A close up of the trees reflecting in the water. The green of the pines makes the perfect backdrop! The fall colored trees are mostly wild cherry, which turn a beautiful combination of yellow, peach and red, and sometimes look as though they are ablaze!

This photo was taken from a lower angle, with the dried golden grasses of the river bank in the foreground.

This road ascends up a fairly steep hill enroute to our house, and looks westward toward the familiar shape of the mountain in the distance. Each time I leave home, I love turning the corner....to be greeted by this view!

I am ever grateful for the beautiful surroundings God has placed us in...the place that we call 'Home'!
