Bend is gorgeous all year round, but I love when it is in color....this is basically just the start but the colors are just
so vivid this year. We don't have hillside after hillside in flaming foliage but we have an abundance and it is just
beautiful. This photo was taken in Drake Park with the Deschutes River in the background which runs through the middle of the town and is just an artists' dream.

When ever we have icy fog this is also where I "fly to".
To the very left you can just barely see the birch weeping willow which is just beginning to turn yellow. One more week and everything should be prime.

Enjoy your fall.
