It is beginning to be the rainy season here, so my walks and drives have been curtailed somewhat. The days are full of different things, but I've still had a few outings and times with special loved ones, and the autumn colors have lingered to turn the world rather dusky pink-gold-brown. The waterfalls are back, and I can hear ours again, roaring from across the way.

| Sara and I are going to hike the Cascades Trail. I've never been, so she is introducing me to this lovely area. |
 |
| Rock "cave" |
 |
| It's chilly along the creek. |
 |
| Rainy day trip starts with increased volume in Swamp Creek |
 |
| Rice fields are beginning to be flooded, which is as it's supposed to be |
 |
| Rice co-op |
 |
| Approaching the Coast Range as I cross the north valley from east to west |
 |
| The terrain begins to change, and the flora bedecks each area differently |
 |
| Pass through the grassy uplands to the hidden glens that will lead me to Clear Lake |
 |
| The highway signs called this view a "Vista", so I photo'd it for y'all. |
 |
| There's my goal! Lake County. #44 out of 58 visited in 2017 |
 |
| Turning back to Colusa Co. |
 |
| Tufted hills - so different from the oak-pine foothills to the west |
 |
| Back to the glens |
 |
| One of those road whoop-d-woops |
 |
| Ethereal hills and grasslands |
 |
| Tiger-striped hills with cows in the meadow |
 |
| Very faint in the background - the Sutter Buttes - the world's smallest mountain range with a touch of sun on the top. (and the dratted power lines) |
 |
| Second time through Glenn Co. |
 |
| Just as I pulled up and grabbed my camera, the flock lifted off the water, and this is only part of the mass of avians in the air. The noise of them was wonderful. |
 |
| Loved the shapes of them |
 |
| You can tell by the white ones that some are Snow Geese! |
 |
| Photo of just a very few of the pond-sitters |
 |
| Veteran's Day - Old Mill Ranch bridge honor |
 |
| It's a sign of things to come |
 |
| The hike was easy, paved, and not steep |
 |
| I really love this photo and scene |
 |
| Explanation |
 |
| Frazier Falls seen from across the way, with a tree-stump covered with pebbles and coins in the foreground. |

There you go! Now I have to pack for our next trip - with Jeffery - to the 3 north-west counties, which will give me all of northern California above Sacramento! See you after that!
