Hey-oh fall!
Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I’m all about shorts/sweatshirt weather, which we will often get this time of year. Shocking enough was a 70-degree day on Halloween. Being able to walk my dog in shorts this late in the year is crazy.
There are a lot of years where we’re worrying about snow!
The leaves, too, have had some vibrant colors, which has been nice. I’ve been able to get out on some smaller hikes with Harper as well, which is always fun. She finds a lot of things to sniff with piles of leaves!
Of course the downside is daylight is less and less. And this weekend, at least in my part of the world, the clocks fall back. And that’s always tough as there are times I’ll walk Harper twice a day and both will be in the dark. It can be rather depressing. I do think it’s time to get rid of the clock changes. Pick one and go with it.
So my month had some traditional fall things, as well as some other things I try and do this time of year. This month I have a couple of bonus shots, too, as I was out there a bit with the camera. Alas, there’s a lot I am not posting.
How about all of you? Is it happy fall?
Anyway, onward. Here’s my five for October!
1. Mount Utsayantha
A couple of friends, myself, and Harper headed out on a geocaching adventure. One of the stops took us to the top of a local mountain. It was a truly wonderful morning and day and the colors were amazing. And, Harper actually sat for a photo!
2. Popping colors
I loved all of these colors with the tree in front of my house. It’s now bare and the raking wasn’t the most fun!
3. Tongue out!
It’s fun to find piles of leaves and try and get Harper to sit or lay in them. It’s not always successful. This photo is almost like her telling me what she thinks!
4. Geocaching
This was during the one day on a caching adventure. Looking for the needle in a haystack sort of thing. So many leaves and those rocks. Harper wanted to help!
5. Happy Halloween!
Harper had her Halloween friend for her walks the past couple of weeks!
BONUS PHOTOS
I couldn’t just stop at five. I probably could have gotten 10 out of this month! And though I didn’t get to do my normal trip to the shore this month, I did go down for an overnight for something else. So, of course, I bounced around the one day I was there to hit the beach and this awesome dog park. Harper had a blast!
Second bonus
This one may not have made the cutting room floor, but I did love how she sat and was so happy for this one!
There’s my five (plus bonuses) and let’s see what you came up with! If you took part in this month’s challenge, make sure to link up below.
And for those of you who participated, make sure you try and get to other people’s blogs and comment (here, too!).
Let’s continue to grow this challenge and have a strong community. Come back and check out the others who link later on, too! NOTE: We have a Facebook group for those who participate in the challenge and are interested. I’ll post any announcements there and hopefully it can be a place where things are discussed and some interaction etc. You can access it here.
** CHALLENGE CHANGE **
From this point forward, I am going to do the next theme at the bottom of each linkup. Also, the posting date will now be the first of each month, thus giving you the entire month to take the photos etc.
That means it’s a one-stop shop! Hopefully this helps out with everybody.
So, below is the linkup for June. Make sure you drop your link there.
OK, so it’s time to keep on moving! And just like that, it’s November! And our theme for the month? Gratitude Interpret as you see fit!! I hope you all have fun with this theme! Remember to come back on (hopefully) November 1 to link up and check out the theme for that month! I’ve set a calendar reminder for me, so let’s see if that works!

I am with you on fall being the greatest season and to get rid of switching between daylight saving and “regular” time. Especially considering that we in Europe fell back a week earlier, how stoooopid is this?
Did you end up finding that geocache among the rocks and leaves?
Is this a Snoopy stuffed animal that Harper is carrying around?
Love that tree in front of your house. Gorgeous color!

Stunning shot on top of Mount Utsayantha…and the colors are nice too! Harper complements Autumn very nicely! You have a gorgeous red maple tree in your front yard! Or is it a red oak? Either way, it’s beautiful. Autumn is my favorite time of year for all these reasons and more!

I love all the fall colors, we just don’t get those around here. We barely even have a fall at all y’all.
Gosh, those deep oranges and reds are amazing. We see mostly yellow and gold, with the occasional tree of a variety that goes more to the orange-red. But it only lasts a matter of days, it seems. Maybe we need to plan a “fall colours” trip one of these years. Meanwhile, thanks for sharing.
