Sadly, it is becoming evident that we are not going to get a good display of fall colors this year around the Coeur d'Alene area. An early freeze seems to have killed the leaves before they could change colors.
I went down on the St. Joe twice recently,
once by car, arriving before the sunrise, and again on a tour boat.
This is Falls Creek Falls right beside highway 50.
I caught this shot from the boat as we left Independence Point for what ended up being a very long day.
There is just something about September sunsets... I have been noticing for several years now there seems to be a lot of lavendar skies in September.
I stayed in town one clear morning and felt like a voyeur taking pictures over and through fences, just trying to get a view of the lake.
I'm quite happy with this Spokane River shot, and think it will remain one of my all-time favorites. Suprisingly I didn't think much of it when I shot it and only spent a few minutes on it, taking only a couple different exposures.
I found this canoe scene one morning and hope it is still there for a foggy day shot.
This last month has been quite productive and according to my lightroom stats, I shot 16 out of 30 days in the month of September.
This was overlooking the valleys to the East in the Coeur d'Alene Mountains after a night of rain.
Here are a few more of our beloved Lake Coeur d'Alene...
Looking forward to a trip into Montana soon and hoping they have better fall colors than here in North Idaho.
