🍂 Fall Colors with So Many Beautiful Colors

Hi Everyone,

When we look west out our bedroom window, we see a young sugar maple about 30 feet tall. I love watching this tree change through the seasons. Through the summer it’s a shock of green leaves standing tall at the curbside. As the summer turns to August, the leaves start to yellow signaling that Fall is coming. As the Summer turns to Fall the leave turn bright red, then brown, usually not falling until blustery winds blow them free.

Fall has come to Portland. So far, most of the weather has been mild this year. But Fall brings its own beauty.

Portland has trees — everywhere. I mean everywhere: street sides, parks and every yard. So, Fall is another blooming season, but this time flat on the ground. The trees start gently turning colors. Just a dab here and there. Then there is the second indicator of Fall in Portland — Rain.

After more than a few leaves have dabbled in orange, yellow or deepest of reds, there will be the opening volley rainstorm. The rainstorm of rainstorm (at least for the last month or so.)

It happens. All at once, the leaves on every tree on a street will be released, communally, during the storm. All together they will take a huge leap of faith — Grass or Sidewalk?

So Many Beautiful Colors is available as museum-quality posters made on thick and durable matte paper and high-quality note cards. There’s more about So Many Beautiful Colors on Cynthia Yolland — Slices of Beauty.
