Wow, look at all the beautiful trees changing colors! A reminder of why fall is one of my favorite seasons. We will be headed up more into the Ozarks pretty soon to get a better feel of all the fall colors... you just don't see them near as well down here.

Hannah is such a cute kid, especially in that pink hat of hers! I just adore how she always seems to look so happy, she has a smile that can melt anyone's heart.

And Aunt Mary has a bunch of great looking furkids, too.. no wonder you had a great time!
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!

We are really lucky. We both wonder what the 'catch' is. We assume we will find out at 2 and then REALLY find out at like 12 or 13.

LOL

I love fall the best too. It's just sooooo beautiful. My photos don't do it justice at all.

Thank you... Hannah really is as happy as she appears in her photos. she always has a smile to offer. Hard to feel down when you've got that toothy grin looking back at you.

It was a lovely trip. their house is up a hill and they are the very last house and a good portion of their land is wooded. it's so peaceful and beautiful.

Hubby went on a walk to scout for turkey hunting this morning and he saw bunch of turkeys (the birds... not people haha), a dozen deer, a coyote, and a fox. aunt mary said she had a couple of black bears come down the other day as well. it's an awesome place to have a house.

I haven't seen our group of turkeys we had a few weeks ago, there have been mountain lion sightings so that may be why they are staying elsewhere. Either that or its getting close to thanksgiving

**sparks19** · 10-19-2008, 07:44 PM

lmao... getting close to thanksgiving. You never cease to crack me up hehe.

OOOOOOOOOH... we ALSO were fortunate enough to have a bald eagle soaring over us at the football game. It was incredible. I have never been lucky enough to see one in the wild... let alone in glorious flight. It was beautiful.

I so wish I didnt have my cam packed on the one river trip I made this year. We came across a bald eagle feeding/guarding a salmon on a sandbar. Ive never seen a BE with that much attitude.

WOW... what a sight.

I wish I could have gotten a photo but the sun was at my back so it was hard to find him in the viewfinder on the cam because of the glare from behind and he was a good distance away. Luckily Aunt Mary had her binoculars. It's not an experience I will soon forget.

Those mountains are gorgeous! What a nice little trip. I miss PA mountains and Upstate NY. Used to go up there very often but we don't get around to it much anymore.

Thanks for bringing back memories

Looks like your little cutie had fun. I love Hannah, AND Beezer and Belle. Why do you get all the cute kids and fur kids?

More then 15 years ago, while out on a company fishing trip, we had a bald eagle dive bomb the bait table on the charter boat we where on. Seeing a bird that big that close realy makes an impression.

They really are amazing! We have a nesting pair at out local park that me and my dad stalk LOL. The park has an eagle came and bulletin board for them in the enviormental center. They even have eagle tours lol, it's awesome. I've been on them before. One time the male was out hunting, and he landed in the parking lot we were in, It was awesome seeing him up close until some women slammed a car door.

Hugs to the sweet Hannah for me!
