It was a beautiful fall day and for some odd reason I thought it would be better to take the dogs and my camera for a walk than clean house. It is finally turning chilly after a warm late summer and early fall, plus it’s been very dry here so we’re not having the brilliant colors we have had in the past. But Mother Nature is trying.

One lone tree has turned in the midst of still green trees
Pumpkins and mums seem to be the fall decoration of choice
A little more color here and there
The reds aren’t as bright but it’s still pretty

WAY better than cleaning! I love the mums 🙂
You would not believe how many excuses I can come up with for not cleaning, it’s a true art form for me. I think the mums are really pretty too.
Went out today looking for mushrooms and the trees were awesome!
You must have had a better summer than we had.
By the way, I find the photos you take so beautiful and very informative too. I’m learning the names and important facts of the wildflowers I see all the time from you.
My favourite time of year!
If we compile all the excuses for not cleaning house – it might become a best seller 🙂
Thank you for sharing the photos, Susan.
That is a great idea! Everyone would be reading our book and not cleaning house. Proctor and Gamble would put hits out on us. How much fun would that be.
