Autumn in Portland

I took this picture while going for a cup of coffee on my lunch break near where I work in Northwest Portland, right down the street from Pro Photo Supply. I sometimes go to this little coffee shop on 18th called The Oz Cafe. They make a really great cup of coffee there. They also have a lot of great pastries and lunch fare.

The climate in Portland never ceases to fascinate me. I grew up in the desert, so I'm always intrigued to see a scene like this; the leaves are dying, but sprigs of something green are just starting to sprout up between the rocks. Is it fall or spring?

I call this photograph Rocks and Leaves.
