Thank you for all the lovely comments. Yes, I do enjoy a walk with Nature, and this is a walk all of us do enjoy. It is easier for me as 4 of them can run loose, so I am not constantly dealing with tangled leashes. I get to enjoy the area as well.

Willy cannot be off leash for 2 reasons: 1. them's the rules from the Rescue, he is still a foster dog; and 2. even if he were mine, he has no training and NO RECALL. I am working with him on this and other commands, and have him enrolled in obedience classes starting next week.

Hello, I enjoyed looking at your autumn photos. I live in central NC and it is dry here too. Our pond is getting lower every day and because it has been so dry I dont think the leaves will be very pretty. Here are some photos. The tree was taken 2-3 weeks ago and since then most leaves are brown.. I saw the deer yesterday and one photo is my little dog.

Your little dogs are just lovely... so cute.

I've never attached photos before at this site so I hope I do it correctly... and I hope you don't mind my jumping in with photos. Kay in NC 11:40pm 9.25.10

Not a problem, Kay. Was that deer in your yard? Awesome photos! Hello Lil Girl, lol, peeking back over your shoulder.

Hi Freedom, Yes, that was a male deer in the back back backyard in an area away from the house (I used a 12x zoom & then cropped it to get a good pic). I live in the country and the deer was eating persimmons on the ground and reaching up to get more. If he had seen me, smelled me, or heard me, he would have jumped, raised his whitetail, and took off instantly. I really do not see that many deer although I know they are around here. It is not unsual for a deer and a car to collide on the highway.

Earlier when I said the leaves are now brown, I meant the ones in the photo. Most leaves on other types of trees are mostly greenish but some browns have fallen already.

There is a story behind the bluebird pic below. He went nuts seeing himself in mirror on truck. I think he thought it was another bluebird and he "fought" his own image for at least an hour and a half. Bluebirds are very territorial so he was upset. Finally, probably after being tired, he left. Every year I have bluebirds that build a nest (usually 3x in season) and usually have five babies each time.

The geese came to pond one day back in April. We were sitting in swing at the pond and what a pleasant surprise to see them come down for a swim. They went to the end away from us. They left after LilGirl dog scared them by barking barking.
