I am watching the clouds move in slowly, getting ready to douse the ground with liquid. I like fall in Portland a lot. The air is cool and the crisp smell of autumn infuses your senses in preparation for something following close behind. Trees start shedding their vivid greens for vibrant gold, crimson and a pumpkin orange color that signals halloween. This is my favorite time of year. Not only do I get to layer up and dig my scarves out from the deep recesses of my closet, but I get to see my environment change around me. This is the most beautiful display of nature, the earth coming to a crescendo before dipping its head and succumbing to winter. The final peak of life before the hibernation. I wait for this with anticipation every year. And then I sulk through the snow, waiting for the rebirth in the spring.
