If you look at the ones I posted last year or of those I post in the fall you'll see some of the same images in different seasons and different years. We had a very wet year and very wet spring which tradition tells me should me a very bright and colorful fall. Enjoy, I did taking them.
Edit: Something I just realized taking these. I take other pictures in even more beautiful country around where I live (within 30 to 60 minutes of driving) yet I always come back to this little canyon. So I decided why? I've stated it before, it holds many links to me of places in LOTR. Also, and probably more importantly it is easy to do. Just change into the jeans and boots and work, stop on the drive home, pull out the day pack and a couple of hours later, head home. Easy and quick trip into nature. Do you have any quick and easy places in nature that you go that are nearby?
