Fall foliage, Ankeny Park (& vicinity), downtown Portland.

A rainbow from the big storm on Saturday. It wasn't a great rainbow, so I tweaked the photo in GIMP to enhance the colors a bit. I tried to get a pic of the infrared part of the rainbow too, but that just didn't come out at all. Oh, well.

Snow on SW 8th, next to Ankeny Park & near Tugboat Brewing. It hasn't snowed here yet; a nearby snowboard shop brought it in for some kind of event on Saturday, and it's still melting a few days later.

My neighborhood is full of weird little beetles around this time every year. They don't seem to do anything, they just sit around motionless for a while and eventually disappear when the weather gets really cold. I'm not sure what the point is, really, but right now they're everywhere.
