Fall is Here

Clackamas River in the FallI love the fall and today is the first day of fall (autumnal equinox) for those of us in the northern hemisphere. I love the end of the summer heat and the beginning of crisp mornings, garden harvests, the fall rain and fog, the wine harvest, Halloween, and most of all – the fall colors of all the leaves. I love change, and the change of seasons is a good one.

In NW Oregon we should be peak leave fall colors over the next 3 weeks.

Here is a photo of mine from October 3rd, 2018 not too far from where I live.
