October hikes in the woods at higher elevations can provide great color if you arrive soon enough. My most recent venture took me to Beaver Creek & Sweet Creek falls near Florence, Oregon. Normally early October provides rich fall colors. This year however fall has arrived early by about three weeks. This cold wet weather caused an early leaf fall so the best I could photograph in some places was those colors still on the ground. This is an example of dead leaves laying in a puddle near the upper Sweet Creek Falls.
