Seems every year I have a similar post of the first fall colors emerging.  Biking and walking around, I suddenly really notice the turning of the leaves.  This year it was more that a particular spot of trees were just showing off, (this happens at other times during the year too: fall color).

Some of fall’s yellow color is lingering into winter.

The leaves shine warm with the light of the sun which sits low in the clear blue sky.

Portland’s Fall Color

My first impressions were that portland’s fall colors were somewhat lacking. Less vibrant, dull, nonexistent. But, there is a wonderful abundance of soft yellows. They almost glow when it is overcast, and in the sun are very nice. There are some deep reds about too, one tree with narrow leaves comes to mind. But I only have yellow for you today. The narrow streets make some nice tunnels!

Had a short visit to Boulder Colorado and got to catch the leaves changing all around town, displaying their fall colors. I particularly enjoyed watching each day as the color spread and deepened on this one tree:

Biking around Portland and walking the streets after last few week’s rains there has been a lot of fall color starting to show in the trees.  First it was one hilltop street off laurlhurst area.  I felt it coming then, and then there was this tree up on skamania landing.  Now down the street I shot these two trees.

Red behind with green burning yellow.

Up in the Columbia Gorge some very bright leaves of gold in the falling sun.

with the nice weather – blue skies opening up – after long rains was hard to anything but enjoy the lake in the sun.
