Today’s observation will be done back home and I will take you to a place where most tourist come to see. As you head over to the local store and stand in the middle of the street you can look at the Mt. Hood from this open road that shows the best display of this volcano. It starts off with acres of orchards of fruit; apple, pears, cherries. Then as you head into the horizon you start to clime the your eyes to see the mountain and the reason they call it hood. Is because of the cloud that stays at the top of the mountain and never moves and looks like a hood over it. There is always snow on this mountain year around. Parkdale is more so known for the orchards that make most of this town. The fruit trees also seem to have their seasonal transformation, which start in the spring with the flower and all the pollination. Then comes the bright green leafs with the fruit, which brings harvest, which doesn’t end until the fall. Then tree lose its leafs like most trees and it starts over again.
