As fall turns to winter and the sun seems to set before I can finish my morning cup of coffee getting outside for an adventure is a special treat. Norah is at her best (and so are Greg and I) when we get a healthy dose of fresh air. Here are some highlights from a couple of our winter adventures around town.
Armatige Park is a great place for a quick fresh air fix. Its super close, right along the Willamette River, it's never populated and the trees are beautiful!
Norah hunts for table mushrooms on these picnic tables that have been taken over by moss and mushrooms over the decades of rain they have endured.

A family of table mushies!
The Oregon Tree Monkey!
I just love these trees! It may be winter, but they are still so green and lively!
Sweet girl
Misty fall day... so lovely!
Fabulous fall color
Another one of our favorite places to go is Spencer's Butte. Greg and Norah have had quite a few hikes up to the top, this was my first this season! It was such a treat to have a family hike, they are all to rare these days!
Soaking up some rare rays of sunshine!
Norah is never without her sparkle skirt these days!

Positively enchanting
Did I mention that this forest is enchanted?!

Such a perfect winter day!
Though I could use a little dusting of snow!
