September and October are the very best months here in Oregon.  Yesterday was truly spectacular.  Bright sunshine, clear blue skies, 45° in the morning, 75° by lunch.  The leaves are just starting to turn, and it looks like they are going to be something else this year. 

I also love that when I walk to work from the bus stop in the morning I often see Killdeer and a Great Blue Heron hanging out in the field across the street.
