Fall is peaking in WA!

We decided to take a drive east on Saturday to see some color!
When we got to Snoqualmie Pass it was foggy/cloudy and very picturesque!
Next we hit a half hour back up due to "helicopter work". We saw the helicopter but never did figure out what he was doing.

At least we had a nice view while we sat still for 20 minutes!
This reservoir was full to over flowing last time we went by.

Once we got moving we saw lots of color. No red like the Midwest, but lots of yellow that contrasts the green pines!!

Awesome!

There were alot of Tamarack pines turning yellow.
Gorgeous!
Then we took a stroll down the streets of Leavenworth!


Next we stopped across from the Icicle Winery next to the vineyards.

We found a spot to eat our lunch while over looking the valley.
Colored apple orchards as far as the eye can see!

Next we walked through the vineyards and I had great fun taking pictures of the grapes. ( :

and more grapes......................!
We had hopped to see a crush but they weren't working on Saturday! ) :


Yellow apple orchards along the river.
After some wine tasting we headed back to Snoqulamie.
It was a beautiful drive!
Now I have to can apples!!
