The leaves are changing in the Pacific NW...

Well... the {short} sunny days of summer are over.
They were GREAT while they lasted!

We are in full October mode and the rains are finally here. I suppose this is the reason why our forests are so lush and green :-)

It is easy for residents of this area to be somber about the gloominess of the fall and winter months... I am guilty of it myself!

Today, I stopped and {smelled the roses} took a look around our huge back yard (which is part of Forest Park- the largest urban park in the United States) and saw the beauty of nature at work.

Leaves are quickly turning to gorgeous hues of yellow and red and orange. I decided to take advantage of the short fall season and took some closeup photos of the most colorful leaves I could find...

Here they are :-)

Happy fall everyone!
