Rainy Day Walk

My route for today - 3.5 mi

I decided to go a bit further north today. About 2/3 of my walk was on roads I'd already seen, but the ones north of Bonnie Brae St were new to me.

The weather today was cool and wet. While it didn't actually rain on me during my walk, it was dark and damp. My photos are a bit softer because of it.

Orange & Yellow Dahlia - SW 149th Ave

Pink Dahlia - SW 149th Ave

Unidentified Red & White Flowers - SW 149th Ave

I have taken so many pictures of Dahlias and Roses lately, that I was happy to see a new type of flower.

These red and white flowers reminded me of peppermints... then I ended up seeing more and more pink and white flowers ... peppermints everwhere!

Orange Dahlia & Japanese Maple - SW Rocklynn Place

Pink & White Fall-Blooming Azalea - SW Rocklynn Place

Pink Dahlia - SW Rocklynn Place

Pink & White Dahlia - SW 149th Ave

Pink & Yellow Dahlia - SW 149th Ave

This one is so delicate. It reminds me almost of the lotus flowers at the Chinese garden.

SW Nehalem Lane

I can't remember the name of this tree right now... but I liked the contrast between the yellow leaves and berries and the red maples in the background.

More leaves

Pink Dogwood - SW Rochester Drive

I have no idea why this tree is blooming at this time of year. It must be confused. Still, it's very pretty.
