As you get down toward the Willamette Valley, the colors are much more muted (which I like). (PS - what I meant was, they were muted on Oct. 8.)
************************************************************
LIGHTROOM 3.0 Beta - have been having fun playing around with it. I really like the new Import setup. Also appreciate the little touches, such as disengaging the Target Tool when you go to another panel. You should know that even if you don't have Lightroom 1 or 2, you can install and try out LR 3 Beta for free.

@Judy: Nothing up from LR 3 Beta yet. The most noticeable differences you will see will be in Sharpening, Noise Reduction and Vignetting. And since I use other plug-ins for sharpening and noise, about the only thing that Am3 viewers might see from me as different will be improved vignetting.
