Fall Colors and Halloween Fun in Central Oregon Cascades

Hey there, friends and Between the Lines blog readers!

I just had to share my recent escapades in the heart of the Central Oregon Cascades. If you haven't experienced autumn here, you're missing out on a spectacle of nature. This year, the fall colors have been nothing short of breathtaking, but only a short period as we have already had snow. The entire landscape seems to have painted itself in a vibrant palette of reds, oranges, and golds.

And speaking of golds, have you ever seen larch trees in the fall? It's a sight to behold! Unlike most conifers (pine trees), larch trees go through a unique performance every autumn. These beauties turn a mesmerizing shade of yellow before they shed their pine needles. It's like nature's way of giving a standing ovation before the curtain falls.

Halloween in the neighborhood was an absolute blast this year! The streets were buzzing with kids in creative costumes, pumpkins glowing at most doorsteps, and the spirit of spookiness in the air. There was also a big trend this year in huge skeletons and animatronic spooky yard decorations.

My sweet 2 year old Labrador pup, Coho, sported not one, but multiple costumes throughout the night. From a lion to a bucking bronco with a rider on his back, he was quite the good sport. And the best part? He absolutely adores kids. Every time a group of little trick-or-treaters approached, his tail wagged faster and he always wanted to sniff the trick or treat bags, but not eat them. He is just a overly curious sniffer.

All in all, this fall has been a mix of natural beauty and festive fun.

Hope you all had an equally fantastic fall and Halloweens.

Cheers,
