I've been meaning to make this post for a while now but I keep finding more pictures of the fall color. This post has many pictures to it; all of them in my area. It started raining again today so many of the trees have now dropped their leaves. There are still plenty of green trees that will change. I'm so amazed by this, growing up in Nevada and California we didn't see much fall color. I suppose there are places even more colorful than this but apparently it's enough for me to be awestruck at these trees.
These are trees I see on one of my runs
These are seen in Sherwood where my daughter lives
Coming back from Sherwood
These are seen downtown by the library, just down the street from my house
Close by at Tualatin Park there is plenty of color. I get to see these beauties when I play pickleball, go for a run or a walk, or go to the skateboard part of the park with the grandkids
These are some of the trees on my street/neighborhood
And finally, I do have some color at my house. I have 8 fir trees-they stay green, a weeping cherry tree-it slowly goes yellow-nothing spectacular, an apple tree and a peach tree-not much color there. And my maple tree doesn't turn any bright colors, it just goes dark purple to brown. The crepe myrtle in the front usually has nice color but as of this writing it hasn't turned yet. However from my kitchen window I can see this beautiful red bush and the blueberries turning red

So I hope fall in your neck of the woods is providing some different things to look at.
