On the "Larch March"...

Up here in the Pacific Northwest, while we might not get the bright reds and yellows of New England autumns, we do have one distinctive feature: larches at higher elevations that turn bright gold before shedding their needles in mid-late October. Many nature-lovers (and more than a few photographers) join in a trek into the mountains each fall, in what is popularly known as the “larch march.”

Earlier this month, I joined in the march, heading to Washington Pass in North Cascades National Park for a hike to Rainy Lake, to catch both the larch on the ridge and its reflection in the lake, a cascading stream in the forest along the trail, and a final stop for sunset and “blue hour” at the pass itself.

End of the Day at "Erwin's Pond"

This small lake in the Lake Desire Nature Area in southeast King County was “discovered” and named by noted landscape photographer Erwin Buske. It’s a great location, especially for sunset. That evening was a waiting game, expecting the setting sun to drop below the horizon and light up the high clouds. I wasn’t disappointed.
