Camassia Natural Area - Autumn
We visited today, realizing that fall is not the area's best season. In the void created by the absence of the famous flowers, however, we noticed the variety of trees in this tiny preserve.
Above, oaks;
left, aspens;
and below, madrone.
And we can't forget the profusion of ferns.
The marked loop trail is only .6 mile long, but I will put it on my list for next spring anyway. Located in West Linn, Oregon. Entrance located at GPS N 45.35922, W 122.61824.

Oh yeah, Camassia! I've been there a couple of time, but not for...well, years now, I guess. Thanks for the reminder. It'll go on my spring walk list.
