Fall Weekend
We had another terrific time at the river. The weather couldn't have been more perfect: sunny warm days coupled with crisply cool nights.
Leaves of gold, red, and yellow fluttered to the ground with every breeze, looking like large and colorful splotches of rain. Mother Nature has been busy spinning her magic.
The critters weren't idle, either. We saw an assortment of frogs. Heard the howls of coyotes. Were buzzed by a beautiful young eagle.
The smell of burning leaves gave a bittersweet reminder that summer is truly gone. And as with so many other things in life, we say good-bye, savoring our memories while we look forward to what lies ahead. A newly born season has arrived.
So welcome back, Fall. It's good getting to know you again.

Gorgeous photos.
We used to get dozens of little frogs in the backyard. But that was before the cat discovered them. Now we have none. I kind of miss them.
The leaves are changing colors here, too! I love the way the air is cold and crisp here, and it's fun to get raking again! It looks beautiful where you are. :)
I love Autumn too, it is wonderful crunching through the leaves in the woods on a crisp sunny day.

This post makes me feel energized. We too spent some time outdoors and saw frogs and turtles in a lake. Fall is my favorite season and I too welcome it.
Mmmmm....fall. My favorite, too. I miss the New England autumns, though we do get some colorful trees here in Georgia, especially in the mountains. I love the nip in the air and the scents of fall. Mmmmm....
Fall can be such a wonderful season with its colourfull display.
Looks like you had a lovely, fall weekend with friends!!
Woofs and Kisses!
