Wow!!! Gorgeous!

Late afternoon thunderstorm calms late in the day and then dissolves into a beautiful sunset cloud. Campbell River, Tyee Spit

Forest fire smoke drifted out to the coast yesterday, making for an interesting, colorful-looking sun at sunset.

Very nicely done Ray! We are currently in Northern ID, but headed to eastern WA. Way too smoky here. Visibility about 1/2 - 1 mi.

Thanks to everybody for posting- I truly enjoy all of it!

I spotted a squirrel riding an Orca today

Looks like a squirrel(y) day...

Had a little bit of rain and cloud yesterday in Powell River, but it started to clear out around sunset at Willingdon Beach, making for a beautiful scene. We snagged a nice campsite down near the ocean.

Willingdon Beach, Powell River BC Nice campsite surrounded by cedar trees right by the ocean.
Here are a pair of shots from sunset last night.

Nice! :starstruck:

Since moving to Utah a few years ago we've been trying to camp at all the state parks. Last week was Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. Beautiful area even though the lake is super low. Hundreds of bison roaming around and we had a bachelor herd of seven come visit us at our campsite every afternoon.

Beautiful shots!

Another warm, calm fall day. Oct 3rd Looking from Powell River back across the ocean to Vancouver Island, BC

Last night's beauty. From Powell River looking west to Vancouver Island

Humpback Whales Spotted off Comox Ferry Oct 12 2022
Got a whale show yesterday on the Powell River to Comox ferry. Several humpbacks cruised by!

Nothing like a walk in the Canadian woods on a sunny mid-October Day

Neighborhood display for the season

Bigleaf Maple




The leaves of a Bigleaf Maple are the largest in Canada. Typically the leaves are 15-30cm wide and five-lobed. The leaf has five lobes, blunt irregular teeth on the edges, are dark and shiny green on the top and a lighter green on the underside. This green turns to yellow and gold once autumn comes and then the leaves fall off in near the end of October and into the beginning of November.

This is a time of year where the Bigleaf Maple stands out in the coniferous forests of Vancouver Island, and when a hike through the forest provides a glimpse as to what the forests of eastern Canada look like in the fall.

Fall is finally starting to show its colors. My Maple leafs are not quite as big as yours though.

Wow! :love:

That's the biggest Maple leaf I've ever seen!!! Beautiful shot Herb. Fall has finally arrived here in Southern Utah too. The monsoons lasted until a few weeks ago so the colors are expecially vibrant this year. Since my husband's truck matches the fall colors, we just had to take it up on the mountain for a photo shoot :-)

Perfect! :starstruck:

Now thats the correct way to frame a Fall photo ! Two thumbs up...

Drippy Fall World Series campout on the Nehalem this year.

Sleepy fall afternoon on the Oregon coast. They must have some fat bellies full of fish. :)

They are "protected" by law. You can't harass or do much to get rid of them. They do a lot of damage. During the Summer salmon run they have a feast. Very common for sport fishermen to have one one on the line and them bang; all you have is the head.

One more Fall photo....

Up in BC, lots of them turn into Killer Whale snacks
