Oregon bliss

Posted on | November 22, 2011 | 2 Comments

I still get dumbfounded by how late the seasons are here. When I traveled home to Michigan, over two months ago, the leaves were beginning to peak.  They have already gotten snow flurries and are now lucky to hit a high of 30's (the upper peninsula of MI, that is).  Back here in our little rainforest, the leaves are finally reaching their demise, the wise trees beginning a new cycle.  I was lucky enough to catch a few photos before coastal storms hit over the last few days, taking away the radiant colors of our neck of the woods.  Can I share them with you, pretty please?






It's also hazelnut harvest this time of year, and I had a fabulous date with a local orchard below.



And no April slideshow would be complete without some belly photos taken on our driveway and back yard, don't ya' know.




Here is the true secret to these shots:


Rain jacket and umbrella.  We are definitely in Oregon!

...

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Any big plans, friends?
