A Walk In the Woods ~ pics

[ramanth]

Thought I'd share some photos from when Andy and I took Kia to a local park back in October. There are also some photos from up north and locally.

The leaves were just starting to change at this point. Not much in the variety of color. Mostly yellows. Kia and Andy had fun climbing on trees that fell last winter.

Kia shows off that she too can get up onto a fallen tree.

And is far more braver to continue up higher...

Okay, climbing trees is getting boring. Lets go Andy!

The trees were in full peak when we went up north.

[finn's mom]

Those are awesome! I love the hiking ones, especially...they really do look like buddies. :D Those colorful trees are so beautiful, and, I LOVE the baby Christmas trees! And, your costume is cool...my favorite part about it, though, is your hair! Blue's my favorite color! :)

[lv4dogs]

Great pictures! I love seeing outdoor pictures in the fall.

[elizabethann]

What great photos and such a good dog. Fenway would have been gone had I taken him off his leash in the woods. Love your costume & the bright red tree you're standing in front of. Cool.

Awesome pics! I love Kia's eyes. She's such a beautiful doggie. I especially loved the one of her being silly.

[Jadapit]

Wow what beautiful pictures. I also love the picture Cagneydog posted. Ki is such a beautiful dog! Your costume is awesome! You are so very pretty. I will have to show my son the picture of you by the bush he will love it. ;)

[vinjashira]

great pictures and I love your costume :D

[pitc9]

Oh Kimmy... Kia and her silly poses always make me laugh, she cracks me up!!
Great pictures you got of the leaves!! That's the reason I'll never leave this region of the states, I'd miss seeing the leaves change every year!

[lvpets2002]

;) OMG all the pictures are just adorable.. Just love Kia = just adorable..

[ramanth]

Thanks all. :) I love Fall. The smell of freshly fallen leaves and crisp air.

Finn's Mom, my favorite color is blue too! :D One of the reasons I love that costume.

Here's a closeup of the makeup job:

[RobiLee]

Wonderful pictures, Kimmy. Looks like Kia and Andy enjoy hiking in the woods. You got some great scenery shots and I always love seeing you guys in your costumes. They are just too cool! I love that closeup pic of you.

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Nice pics outside...beautiful fall colors too!:)

[Toby's my baby]

Great pictures! Look like they had fun! I love your costume and your makeup job!!!!

[Corinna]

Kia as usual looks lovely and having fun. Did I see possibly some weight gain on Andy? Hope he is continuing to eat and getting totally healed.

[Ginger's Mom]

Great pics. It looks like she had such a good time. :)

[sammy101]

Beautiful pictures.Looks like Kia had a great time! I love your costume too :)

[anna_66]

Kim what great pictures! Looks like you all were having a good time on your walk in the woods...wish we could have been there too:D

[ramanth]

Thanks all! I hope to get a few more woodsy walks in before the snow falls. :D


Kia as usual looks lovely and having fun. Did I see possibly some weight gain on Andy? Hope he is continuing to eat and getting totally healed.

Yes he has! :D Thanks for asking Corinna. He's been doing very well since his "little" ordeal last year. He could stand to gain a few more pounds, but he's eating well and is not nearly as light as he was before.

He was going to order a pita sandwich for dinner last night and I made him order steak. ;) :D

[Fett]

Those are great pics! This is the first time I'd seen them since you took them. The one of Kia lying on her back with her arm up cracked me up. It looks like when people try and hold the camera and take their own picture, sometimes their arm shows up. LOL

[Cincy'sMom]

Great pictures, Kimmy! What a fun walk in the woods!
