A Little Bit Of Eye Candy

If you ask me which season is the most beautiful--I think I would have to say fall.  Don't get me wrong-I love the snow and ice in the winter and I love the lush green mountains in the spring-but fall is downright spectacular around here.  Especially on days like yesterday.  Portland topped out at 74 degrees with wall to wall sunshine.  The blue skies were the perfect canvas for stunning sunrises and sunsets.  Also, the brilliant changing leaves really stood out against the baby blue sky.  On days like yesterday our email inbox is flooded with gorgeous weather pictures at KOIN.  Click "read more" to see some of my favorites!  Thank you everyone for sharing-please send more!  news@koin.com

Now That Was Fun!

What a blast!  From start to finish I loved the Portland Half Marathon.  The crowd was awesome-enthusiastic and full of energy.  Bands along the course ranged from bells to drums and Christian worship to techno.  My favorite music came from a DJ set up in an old bus on Front Street.  Some man stood on top of the bus and blew his whistle to the beat for hours!  Hilarious.
