Falling temp.'s = beautiful Autumn colors...

My son and I were in Portland this past weekend on the campus of OHSU/Doernbecker Children's Hospital getting some further testing done on his kidneys. We had quite a bit of time between procedures, so I snapped a few shots of some gorgeous Autumn colors.

Of course, I can not leave well enough alone and had to "tweak" some of my photos...I added in a little blue hue for a touch of whimsy.

more fun altering my digital photos...never know what to expect next...

... love how converting these photos gave them a completely different feel...

More photos...

The first photo is of an octopus tree trunk taken at Beverly Beach State Park along the Oregon Coast in November...

The second is of a rusty iron gate and

the third is from work...and is of a vintage Edwardian repro-greenhouse...love all the arches,lines and textures!

let the sun shine in...

these photos were snapped at work while the south facing windows were glimmering with the afternoon sun...I just adore this time of day!...
Most of the hectic work is out of the way by then and it is just usually me, the music and the flowers...even the walk-in customers are at a lull and even on the coldest of days I feel nestled and snug inside with all the sights and scents of the beauty of flowers...and all that surrounds me... ...this is a close up of the sun highlighting an antique table...
