November in the Northwest can mean going from a day with weather like you see in this video...
to the gorgeous day that was Friday, November 7, 2014.

Please enjoy these photos and one of several poems titled "Autumn" written by the English poet John Clare (1793-1864).
Autumn
by John Clare
The casement all the day,
And from the glossy elm tree takes
The faded leaves away,
Twirling them by the window pane
With thousand others down the lane.

Dance till the shut of eve,
The sparrow on the cottage rig,
Whose chirp would make believe
That Spring was just now flirting by
In Summer's lap with flowers to lie.

Curl upwards through the trees,
The pigeons nestled round the cote
On November days like these;
The cock upon the dunghill crowing,
The mill sails on the heath a-going.

Falls on the stubble lea,
The acorns near the old crow's nest
Drop pattering down the tree;
The grunting pigs, that wait for all,
Scramble and hurry where they fall.

Great Post. I have a sick baby so I didn't get to enjoy this beautiful day. I am living vicariously through your photos!!!
WOW! For a minute I thought I was in New England but then that beautiful Blue Spruce appeared among the leaves changing colors and I knew I was home in Tacoma! Your pictures are great. Good job!
