fall leaves

October and Her Colors

Oh it’s my birthday month, turning 35 tomorrow. There’s a full moon tomorrow night, too. The colors around town have not disappointed this year. Always remembering that wandering is therapy, too. It’s good to find relief in the textures and colors in this realm.

I hear and/or see a hummingbird almost daily and that keeps me in a state of gratitude and mystery. They’re like guardian angels who appear to remind there is still magic even when it feels the world is completely crazy.

My Favorite Trees

These 4 trees are my favorite trees in all of Portland. I watch them change season to season.

They line the sidewalk by the parking lot beside my place of work. I often sit outside for at least a portion of my breaks and admire them or just from the cash register on those extra rainy days.

From green to red, until all the leaves fall off, and they start over again. First really thin and green then full blown greenery again. It's really quite fascinating. 

And right now they are the most beautiful fall colors. It's so hard to capture how amazing they really are, but I think this is my best attempt.
