Fall Foliage

As I have been driving around Portland this week, I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful colors that the leaves are turning.   On the East side of town,  the leaves are mostly either still green or shades of gold.  But on the West side the trees are the richest colors of autumn —burgundy and orange.  So if you happen to be out and about this weekend, be sure to enjoy the trees that line Murray Blvd.  This would be a great street to take Grandma out for a little ride — not too long, but really spectacular color.   For a more rural setting close to home, try driving through the west hills or near the zoo or over Capital Highway.  Enjoy!!!
