It was another quick trip to Eugene. I was after Nuts !!! I wanted a big bag of walnuts and hazelnuts. I wanted some indian corn, gourds and pumpkins to photograph. I wanted more produce to put in the freezer for this winter. We got a late start and I wanted to get into town and then back over the mountains pass before dark. Except for the Walnuts I got everything I wanted. On the way home I decided we had time to go over the old McKenzie pass. My most favorite drive. I admit I really don’t mind driving it in the dark.. A quick rest stop at the Proxy Falls Trail head and we could continue on. I knew that the sun was down or nearly down but what I wasn’t expecting was the amount of light on the colorful vine maple leaves. Out came the camera and tripod, because even though the light was interesting I knew that I would be needing some long shutter speeds to accomplish what I was seeing. These photos were 2.5 seconds and 4 seconds long. I am so glad we stopped.
This year mother nature has provided us with the best fall color I have seen in years.
Oh and we made it to the east side of the pass by dark.

Light was incredible. Really showed off the fall colors that were in abundance.
