The Best and Probably Last.

The best, and most likely, last of the autumn colors were breathtaking this morning.  Portland has many parks, not to mention countless tree-lined streets, so the display seen from our windows is not unique, however, the cloudy sky and rain showers somehow made the colors especially vibrant today.  Enjoy the show!
To the right in this photo, you can see that the Keller Fountain has been drained for the winter.  The colorful banners which adorn the vertical corners of the parking garage to the left, have also been removed.
The distant colors are two downtown parks.

It's not exactly New England in scale, but still, autumn in Portland is a pretty special.  Have a fun Halloween tonight!

  3. Fantastic! I love fall! Or as the younger generation say "I heart fall".

    Kansas was particularly pretty this year. I can't seem to stop walking in it. I really don't want winter to come.

  4. Good Morning Lisa,
    Me, too. As the colors peak, there's nothing quite like it. Living above the trees, with that thirty-foot wall of windows gives us a truly amazing view.
    As you must surely know, I'm with you in the hope winter takes a year off! As I type away here this morning, the temperature in Honolulu is thirty-four degrees warmer than Portland! THIRTY-FOUR DEGREES!! It's 75-degrees at 7:18 AM! How perfect can it get?!
    I don't know why we punish ourselves by having that info on our computer desktop. Luckily, the time till we move is beginning to pass with ever-increasing speed and before long, we'll be boarding a plane with one-way tickets in hand.
    But, I digress. We're talking about the beauty of autumn today and we'll both think positive thoughts about the great colors and crisp--not cold--air. Now, that's better.
    Enjoy a walk today, Lisa.
    Sincerely,
    Gary.
