​THE AUTUMN LEAVES OF SHERWOOD

 ...Continued from yesterday:  
       Having always lived among the changing seasons, I've seen many beautiful, balmy autumn days decked out in the gorgeous colors of the turning leaves. 
       But among the most beautiful of my  autumn days must be the Saturday on which Romaine and I spent several afternoon hours strolling through her Sherwood, Oregon neighborhood.

     We set off from Romaine's house,

...past the giant redwood that resides on the corner,

...and began our trek up and down the hilly streets,

...at one point catching a glimpse off in the distance of Mount Hood.

     The leaves were so vibrant it sometimes seemed as if we were seeing them through a neon filter,

     "What is so rare as a day in June?" asked the poet.

      I'm betting he never saw a day in autumn in the Pacific Northwest.
