An Autumn Walk

Hi everyone. Happy Friday. 

  A couple of weeks ago week we had some beautiful autumn weather compared to yesterday’s chill and wintery weather.  

This was yesterday morning. Luckily today it will (or so the weather people say) warm up enough for the snow to melt.


Today's post is not about snow however. One gorgeous morning 2 weeks ago when Miss Maddie was at doggy daycare, Pete and I went for a walk at the Urban Forestry Center in Portsmouth (New Hampshire).

I thought this week I'd share some photos from our stroll for Nicole's  Friday Face Off  and Gillena's Friday Smiles.









The water you see  is Sagamore Creek  flowing through the salt marsh.






And here's a few faces I discovered during that walk for Nicole's Friday Face Off.




Pete says it's time to go back to the car  for a drink.
And I say time for me to wish you a happy weekend. 

One  last thing- my daughter is coming today for a start to the weekend visit, so I may not get around to visiting people until later this weekend.

My favourite photo is the Buddha of the Woods!

Oh, boy, that tree!
These hearts etc are not really forever, I can tell. That dude who carved one for us and betrayed me later sure carved for nothing, sorry, tree...

If this is no dog trail and even from (sadly) very far away: Thank you for keeping your "beast" on the leash.
You have probably no idea how often I was close to a heart attack due to dogs running free, no "owner" in sight.
Twice I´ve been in "dangerous" situations, not nice (when they growl, don´t look them in the eye, right? Don´t run, they are faster...)
So, in the name of chicken like me: Thank you!

I love the pic with the lake - great scene and colors!

To Pete and you: Happy weekend, hugs

I'm happy not to look at the snow pictures. The Autumn pictures and the trail are beautiful. Clever way to capture faces, too. Pete looked very happy. Enjoy the weekend visit with your daughter.

You and Pete had such a beautiful walk - and it looks like he was taking the lead most of the time! You found some great faces - I wonder who out the buddha statue there. Was it in the woods or on private property? I really like the rock face. Have a lovely weekend, Erika, and enjoy your daughter's visit.

Now that the snow has moved away, the trees and ground plants look gorgeous. The dog clearly had a wonderful time :)

A very beautiful place to visit. Definitely my kind of place to take a walk.

Terra said...

That is a fun walk in a place of beauty.

Jeanie said...

Definitely November in your world. And what a walk. The woods are lovely -- I'm glad you don't have to rake all those leaves though!

Divers and Sundry said...

Snow!!!

Your Autumn walk looks nice. Such a pretty place.

Neet said...

Love that first photo of the snow but `I don't want it to land here thank you.
Better were the following pictures of your walk through the woods. Love the autumnal colours and you certainly brought them to us via your photos.
Enjoy your time with your daughter.
Hugs, Neet xx
