Rain, rain, go away...please go somewhere else today.

Everyday I try to think of something fun, beautiful or uplifting to post and share...but I don't always feel like I have anything that important to add to the many voices of the interwebs.  In my face to face contacts, I try not to say anything when I don't really have anything to say, so the blog sometimes feels challenging.

Luckily, in my running around town today, there was a parting of the clouds and I was able to enjoy the gorgeous colors around me.  The season has changed in Portland, summer is a memory and autumn has gusted and poured into town.  I love the colors of the fall leaves and am always inspired by the shapes and shadows of the increasingly bare trees everywhere.

 

I hope that the blue sky that shows off all the lovely colors of fall will last...but I know better, it won't.  As a native Oregonian, I know I should welcome the rain, its the magic that makes this lovely state grow so beautiful and lush....but right about now I just want to huddle under an umbrella and pretend summer isn't so far away.
