Fall Colors and the Annual Turkey Trot

(Thanksgiving Day 2011)

Although Oregon is not known for its brilliant fall foliage, we put this one up there with the best displays in New England. The multi-variate reds, yellows and oranges (sometimes on the same leaf) were luminescent and breathtaking. Here are a couple photos from our yard...

For our 5th consecutive year (yes, we've been here that long!), we participated in the Oregon Zoo Turkey Trot (and walk). Susan has always run and I usually walk but today I ran most of it- there are killer hills coming back that I choose to walk up. Who knows...could there be running in my future?
