North Clark County in the Fall

We went for a drive a couple of weeks back to check out the fall colors. We've had a very mild fall with little wind, so the trees hadn't shed their colorful leaves and I wanted to get some pictures.

It was a slightly overcast day with the sun trying its best to peak through the clouds...without much luck.

But it was wonderful light for shooting landscape pictures! Our journey took us along the East Fork of the Lewis River in the northern part of Clark County. We've always loved this stretch of river and used to take our black lab, Heidi, there on warm Sunday afternoons. It was Charli's first time there and she loved it!

Our first stop was at Moulton Falls for a hike.

To say it's beautiful here is an understatement.

Randy and Charli went on ahead because I was stopping every few minutes to shoot some leaves...

or some wet rocks...

or a stairway.

But once in a while, they'd actually stop long enough for me to get a quick picture of them.

More often than not, though, it was Randy posing Charli.

She's a very picturesque girl!

After our Moulton Falls trek and photostop, we continued our tour north to the Grist Mill.

We'd been here with Randy's folks last Spring but knew the fall colors would be great there now. And we were right. I love this covered bridge!

I love how the moss hangs off the trees here.

It was a beautiful day and one that I really enjoyed.

The only downside? The Dairy Queen that used to be in Woodland, and that was our last stop when we'd taken this trip in the past...we discovered that it closed. And I could taste that Peanut Buster Parfait!
