Happy Friday. Today is a special day, I’m penning a two-for-one post! First, as we typically do, we are joining the Adventures of the LLB Gang. But following our regular nature post, I’m galloping over to June’s Tea Party of the century at Zoolatry. We hope you’ll join us over there once you’ve strolled through our autumn photos. Click on the links to check out all the fun.
Looks like autumn has finally arrived with trees beginning to show some color change. Yesterday on our walk, we finally found some leaves actually changing color. Some are still green, some are yellow and brown but others are finally changing to red/orange. We’re still getting used to the area on this side of town so every day as the landscape changes is an adventure as to what is going on visually.
With a few trees showing some bona fide autumn color and not just the yellow from all the cottonwoods near our house, you can see the creek is barely running now. Trees along this stretch are mostly yellow (and/or brown) since we still haven’t received much rain. It’s ironic as southwest Colorado (Pagosa Springs, in particular) are experiencing some serious flooding the past couple of days. Nature sure is cranky. Maybe when I go to June’s Tea Party, I’ll offer her a cuppa so she can calm down.
If you look way in the background, you can see a couple of trees that read the memo about changing colors. Mum and I walked over one of the bridges at the golf course to see if there was anything colorful toward the west. The sky was cloudy and threatening all day but we only received about 15 drops of rain. Nature continues to tease us.
We found a lovely out-of-the way spot along the trail near the tap house so naturally Mum had to stop and made me pose for her. Give that woman a camera and she’s all up in your grill. Notice my furs were stolen this week? It hasn’t been cold yet for me to shiver, it’s just nice and crisp for our morning saunters.
Well that’s it from me. Time for me to sashay over the Tea Party and serve some cake to the guests. I’m going to volunteer to clean up any crumbs left on the grounds. We hope to see you there. Both Mum and I wish you a great weekend and hope you’ll be able to get out and walk about in crunchy leaves and enjoy the sights and sniffs autumn provides.
Live, love, bark~ 🐾
Such a beautiful Autumn you all are having!!
xoxo, Rosy & Sunny
Thank you. It was late arriving but think the cooler temps have helped speed it up.
Lulu: “Non-conformist tree gotta non-conform!”
We’re hoping for more non-conformists.
Beautiful autumnal colours! We’re currently in the middle of Storm Boelo, I’m not sure there’ll be any leaves left by the time it’s finished.
Thank you for your comment and for dropping by. We 💙 visitors.
Hi Wilson…glad I got here finally! xx
Many thanks for making the party. Hope you had a good time. I sure did.
Your fur-iend,
Wilson 🐾
You’re looking very spiffy sweet Wilson and so lovely to see autumn colours arriving your way too 🍂💛🍁 Wishing you a fun tea party and a happy weekend ahead too ❤️🐾 xxx
Many thanks, Xenia. We wish you a wonderfully spectacular weekend.
I appreciate seeing the color you are getting there and pray the droughts and floods sort themselves soon. It’s sad to watch these things.
Glad you enjoyed seeing autumn from our neck of the woods. No matter how small its been up to this point. We’ll keep hoping moisture levels improve. Enjoy a beautiful weekend.
Bravo good man! The fall has arrived, and with it, a kaleidoscope of magical colors. Here’s hoping you guys get out there and enjoy some of it this weekend.
Finally! I was seriously beginning to think she’d forgot us totally. A cool front is moving in this weekend and hopefully with it, some wet stuff. But whatever happens, we’ll do our level best enjoying the best season. Here’s hoping your weekend is fantastic!
Welp, you got your wish, in buckets!
Yup. It’s always feast or famine around here.
Carazy!
You look pretty spiffy with your trimmed out furs, Wilson. I hope it all grows back for the winter, but something tells me you’ll find a warm place to snuggle.
Thanks for sharing the fall photos. I love seeing them, despite the change that’s about to follow.
Have a good time at the tea party.
Thanks, Dan. This fur growing machine will be fine. Plus if ‘normal’ weather ever arrives, he has plenty of coats for our walks. And then of course, there is me who will likely be roasting under a pile of him as he occupies a majority of the sofa. The tea party was a rousing success-it’s always great seeing folks from the Blogosphere. Wishing you a wonderfully autumnal weekend!
Hello WILSON! So glad you joined us at the Tea Party, and you did a fantastical job as our Co-Host … but s’riously, you may go home immediately after … no need to “clean up the crumbs” and all [little mice from cindyrella will handle that chore]. One and all were so impressed by you, we could not have asked for a better gentleman to assist us: paws up and thank you! And you looked amazing, it t’was a good thing your mine-Mommy had your furs trimmed, for it remains un-fall and hot here so you were likely more comfy than with your long curly locks! Also a big shout-out to that humom of yours as we had some new visitors to the party, from places we did not know before, all thanks to her, so more paws up. Time now for naps, both of us … we send you purrs and hugs and lots of luv … JUNE and Ann.
Awww, you guys are too kind and generous. I think your new visitors were the result of all that beautiful china. We sure enjoyed ourselves-thanks so much for letting us be a part of this fun event. I’m disappointed there isn’t any cleanup necessary…I excel with Hoover-ing up crumbs. Enjoy a lovely and rejuvenating weekend with plenty of naps. Sending hugs and tail wiggles.
Your fur-iend,
Wilson 🐾 and his Mum
Wowzers Meowzers – we saw you at the tea party yesterday – wasn’t it FUN?! As for your Fall photos – looks like you’re a bit further along in your Fall than we are but still we have lots of color in the trees and lots of leaves to crunch under our feet. We think you look fabulous with your new haircut!!
Hugs, Teddy (and Mom)
It sure was fun. And we loved seeing everyone. Thanks for your nice comment about the leaves. We’re having a great time crunching them on our walks. Enjoy a fantastic weekend!
The pictures of the changing color are fascinating, Wilson and boy, you did look amazing at June’s tea pawty and we saw a birdie *blink blink* on that 💰teapot…not for sale huh…MOL… Double Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend to you and your mommy too🐾😽💞
Thank you. We figured you guys would definitely spot the birdie on the teapot. Wasn’t it amazing?! As the temps begin to fall, we hope there are more leaves changing colors. It’s such a gorgeous time of year. Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
this wonderful colors… I always think about Bob Ross… but not even the master can not paint like mother nature…
Bob Ross had quite the knack for finding ‘happy little trees.’ I often think of how he was so good at it when we see them in nature. Talk about a master! Have a beautiful autumn weekend…without the fog!
Hi Wilson and Monika. Thanks for letting us tag along for this splendid walk. Hugs.
Thank you so much for joining us on our weekly wander in nature. We visitors. Enjoy a magical autumn weekend.
The color is just beginning here. This weather had them all confused!
You look handsome and charming as usual Wilson! Happy Weekend to you both !! Enjoy! Love Tea Parties! 🥰
Thanks. We were beginning to think Mother Nature forgot us. Course when the temps are hovering around 80 degrees it’s understandable. Have a great weekend.
😊
Thanks! No big plans, but looking forward to curling up and reading, though laundry needs done as well. LOL!
Sounds like a productive weekend in store for you. Enjoy that book!
Thanks! I will.
I do plan on writing, too. Some special dogs are waiting 😉
Hi Wilson. I heard you’re doing a great job helping at the Tea Party. It must be hard to not eat all the food yourself! XOXOX Chia
We haven’t had much change in the leaves yet. This weather’s so bonkers!
I offered to be on the clean up team so those cake crumbs didn’t go to waste. It was a fun event. We sure hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Your fur-iend,
Wilson
Beautiful photos. Our trees are almost bare now. Have a nice weekend. XO
Thanks. I’ve begun to notice a lot of the maples are fairly bare here, too. We hope you have a great weekend.
Nice to see some fall color out your way. Cool, crisp air sounds like a big relief after this blistering summer!
Yes, finally. For a while we thought nature forgot what to do. Yes, the morning temps in the upper 40’s and low 50’s have been so welcome. It’s still in the upper 70’s during the day, but much better than the 80’s of last week. Have a pleasant weekend.
Lovely fall photos, Monika. Wilson looks very handsome.
Thanks, John. The Floof does clean up nicely. Have a great weekend.
The Tea Party was fun. Wilson looked great there as well. 😊
Thanks. As you can imagine, he was very excited to be around all those cakes.
Lovely nature pics, even if the color scheme isn’t quite up to snuff in your region. Here it is that way too, though there truly are some magnificent colors everywhere.
We saw your handsome dapper self at The Mad Hatter Tea party, Wilson.
How cool that you are the server of delicious tea from that amazing teapot. Be careful not to drop it…
Thank you. I may be an oaf at times but I’m taking great care of that special teapot. Plus I’m on cleanup duty for the crumbs. ; ) Have a lovely weekend.
OMDs Wilson OMDs…what a treat the Mad Hatter Tea Party was and
you were quite debonair. Thank you for co-hosting
Hugs cecilia
Thank you. Yes, it was definitely a rousing success and I was happy to help June out. Plus it means I can Hoover up any crumbs leftover. BOL. Have a terrific weekend.
Have a super weekend. Time to relax ☺️🧘☮️
You as well! Enjoy a great weekend.
What a lovely shot of Wilson at the end there. Perfect capture! And all those furs will be back in no time.
Aww, thanks. Yeah, he’ll be a wooly bear in no time. Have a great weekend.
Starting to look like fall!
Thank goodness. We were beginning to wonder if it was ever going to show it’s face. Here’s hoping you have a lovely weekend.
Everything sure is looking pretty in your neck of the woods Sir Wilson!
Thanks, Terry. We’re finally moving into autumn-it sure took it’s sweet time. LOL Have a wonderful weekend.
What a gorgeous place for you and Wilson to live.
Thank you. We love being so near to the creek trail, even if the color is not nearly as vivid as our previous neighborhood. It’s very quiet too and with the wildlife it makes it all worthwhile. We hope you have a terrific weekend.
Lovely autumn colors and Wilson you look so handsome in that photo. Hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend,
Thanks so much. We hope you have a pawsome weekend enjoying autumn.
No color here. Gotta get out of town to see anything at all. We did get rain and even a thunder.
There aren’t a lot of the flame maples or plums near our house so color was been fairly muted. Rain eh? Good for you guys. We continue to set records though it’s not quite as warm as it was last month. I think we’ll be continuing to measure moisture in drops instead of inches. The metro area seems kind of on the border of where El Niño is making it’s presence. Enjoy a lovely weekend.
We have lots of color here and actually Mom is going to rake up a leaf pile for Henry today. Trees are a changin’ fast right now. Have a fun weekend!
Thanks, you guys too. We hope to see you at the Tea Party. I’ll be happy to serve you all. Enjoy those leaves this weekend!
