Fall Colours – Yacolt

Winnie and I decided to drive down the little road from our house and see if we could find some Fall colours to shoot.  Due to some health problems I was feeling like I hadn’t taken any pictures for six months and I Really needed to get out of the house.  This was the first place where I could safely park and launch the drone cam.  We could barely see any colours from street level, so we popped up a hundred feet or so and Voila!  Instant scenery.  I snapped this image.

 

 

Then it started sprinkling pretty steadily.  Since electronics and water don’t mix well, I quickly landed the camera in the split of someone’s driveway… Time to dry it out and drive down the road to another pull-off, and another launch.

 

We drove down our road a mile or so, launched the camera again, and got this shot:

Looking back, I discovered an interesting switch-back driveway up to a house with a beautiful view back across the valley.

I thought what a great place to live, especially with a river full of steelheads at the bottom of your driveway.

Time to land and head for the house…

We landed right next to the road, loaded up and headed for home.

Fog lifting as we cross the ridge line to home.

Home again, home again, but this time with a bird’s eye view of our twisty driveway.
