A little bit of Fall

On a walk this morning we came upon a yard very cleverly ready for Halloween. Hope you can see the witches legs protruding from the hole in the tree.













Walking near Mount Tabor Park there are many well maintained homes and gardens.

Fall colors are not at a peak but the rain is here and lots of leaves have fallen.

A week ago, and in the sunshine, I stopped by the local pizza shop on Mississippi. They added an outdoor deck with an eclectic decor. Besides the giraffe, there is a free standing

bathtub. Keep Portland Weird - is a mantra around here.

Wine country

It was a beautiful day for a day trip to the wine country just outside of Portland. All these photos were taken in Dundee. This is only my third visit but I think this wine area is visually superior to Napa. This visit was with my friend Sherry and we have vowed to return in a few weeks when the trees and vines are dressed in their fall colors.
