Forest Park in #Portland by mid-November. We’re properly in the cold wet fall. It’s up to the ferns and the conifers to keep things green through the winter.

This image captures a forest trail during late autumn or early winter. The narrow, dirt path winds uphill, bordered by damp, fallen leaves and lush green ferns. The surrounding trees are mostly bare, with a few still clinging to yellowing leaves. The tall, slender trunks create an open canopy against a cloudy gray sky. The ground and foliage appear wet, suggesting recent rain. The scene is peaceful and natural, evoking a cool, damp forest ambiance.
