I couldn't wait for this weekend to get here. The local forecast had clearing weather with temps in the high 60s and not a drop of rain. This will be the best time to go out & shoot some fall folliage. I shot some beautiful color on local streets before heading out on one of the twistiest roads I've found locally, Timber Road. This small stretch of pavement crosses the gap between Hwy 26 & Hwy 6 through the little town of Timber. Talk about small, the only thing I could find with a name on it was the Timber Post Office. I've had a garage bigger. LOL Anyway the 10 - 20 mph turns I had to traverse were more than a challenge considering the tree debris all over the road. I decided I want to live & slowed down to 4th gear. That also allowed me time to pull over for photos. This is such an isolated stretch of road I just stopped in the middle of the road & pulled out my camera. Thank goodness I have an adjustable windshield. Enjoy!

It looks like you managed to catch the colors at their peak. Very nice! This weekend is looking good too. Smile

Nicely done Bob!  

It's not just New England that gets fall colors (even though they seem to grab all the glory), we're capable of some pretty spectacular displays here on the West coast too.   Wink

Lovely.

I just moved from Coos bay in June. I miss the roads already. Been thru beaverton many times. I like to ride along the umpqua river. Try the scenic ride alongside loon lake sometime. Its twistie as all get out adn absolutely breathtaking beautiful. The other ride there i liekd alot if from Eugene to Boise thru bend. During the summer it is a sight to see. Take the scenic route. Great pics. Enjoy the roads. Anything from I-5 to 101 is always beautiful.
