Bend often gathers kudos for a reported annual 300 days of sunshine, little snow in town but much only 20 miles away at Mt. Bachelor and Spring days when you can ski in the morning and get in a round of golf before dark.
The Fall of 2013 has brought the usual spectacular colors from turning aspen, alder, maple and other native and ornamental trees.

The graphic below from a recent National Weather Service forecast says it all. Get out and enjoy the weather.
