Fall’s first touches at The Portland Japanese Garden. I love this place. 🎋

***

The green mossy area below a winding Japanese garden tree. Light yellow leaves drape across the mossy light brown mushrooms below the bushes and snarled trees.

An unusual foreground filled with a basin of smooth, round black rocks, each placed in perfect harmony. The background of bright lime greens and forests of green trees and bushes arches over the center top of the photo.

A Japanese lace-leaf Maple arches over a green, soft, mossy bed with a sleek mirrored pond behind. The leaves are still holding on, mostly green, but each giving way to the cool touches of fall's kiss. For now, the butter-yellow tips only touch the tree’s top leaves.

A photo I captured of a Bigleaf Maple leaf back in October 2021 along the trail at Silver Falls State Park in Oregon. I had never seen such big maple leaves in my entire life. I recommend doing a Google search and see just how large the leaves can get on this amazing tree.

To celebrate fall's arrival, here's a poem I wrote a few years back about the anticipation of my favorite season.

Patience has filled my spirit as I've waited for your arrival. Through the many seasons of longing and anticipation, I always knew you would return. With your glorious colors, sweet harvest smell, and crisp night air, you have awakened my soul.

Oh autumn, how grateful am I, for your kind and beautiful embrace.

-Jessie

I hope everyone has a blessed fall season.
