Clackamas River Valley and the Changing of…
Posted by SheSue on October 24, 2008 under On the Road
A drive up the Clackamas River valley brought views of the changing of the leaves. To the top left is Promontory Lake just east of the town of Estacada.
Top right is the beautiful Clackamas River. Middle left is Highway 224 which runs beside the Clackamas River. Fabulous camping in the summer plus some awesome
hiking. And finally a close-up of a small shrub in the throws of it’s change. And why, you might ask, do the leaves change color? It has to do with the chemical make-up of the leaves, the weather, and the sunlight. A great website that explains it all: Why Leaves Change Color.
I tried to find other blog sites with changing leaves, but failed. Where are you?
