Beautiful Fall

 
We've been enjoying a beautiful fall, taking time for three walks each day and some leisurely visits to parks. The rest of the time has been spent trouble shooting our internet and phone problems. No connection from my own workstation meant no sharing photos that were newly loaded on the hard drive. Still veeeery sloooow internet but at least I can get online, and thus only one shot for now. You'll see more of our vivid fall colors later. Jake is hoping the rains will hold off as long as possible. Weather report says starting Friday we'll have many days of rain, but they've been wrong before!

My Favorite Things

 
Here are two of my favorite things when aiming my lense! I call the two of them J 'n J, because they are rarely far apart when we're out for exercise.

Playgrounds and Parks

 
 
 
 
This has been a GR8 month so far for enjoying playgrounds and parks in the area. I do hope winter doesn't hit too soon. Jake has adopted a very unkempt, touseled hairstyle. He will visit the groomer this week, so watch for better photos coming up. His coat has beed dry and shedding, probably getting ready to put in new hair for the coming cold weather.

Crisp Autumn Afternoon

 
 
 
We went for our usual afternoon walk and found a place out of the wind just to enjoy the last bit of day before heading home.

Fall is in the air today

 
 
Windy day bringing more leaves off our trees before they've even given us a show of good fall color. Jake enjoys being out this afternoon. Gusty winds but no rain, off and on a little hint of sunshine!

Last Day of September

 
Here we are on the last day of September, late in the afternoon. It's J 'n J together, being patient while I grab a shot or two while we three are out to enjoy perfect weather and some neighbors along the way. Some of the best things in life are actually free! You can tell Jake likes this to be part of his day. So do we, but we manage to refrain from the kind of exhuberant activity Jake displays w/ wagging tail and leaping about at the sight of his own buddies.

Jake's Playground

 
Here we are in our park, but where are all the kids? It looks like Jake's private playground!
