Weekends in Autumn

Ah, the pleasures of long walks on fine weekend days in autumn. My HF and I have been out for a couple of long walks the last couple of days, and enjoying the very fresh mornings but lovely sunny days. Lots and lots of sniffs and a few meetings of canine friends en route.

Yesterday we wandered up through the park behind and through the school etc as usual and were just meandering along the street which runs into the bushland. A little brown lab bitch came out of one of the houses - she was very friendly and I thought she was quite cute, but she was a typical pup, wanting to jump all over the place. After a bit, I wanted to get going and so did HF but the painters who were working at the house said she didn't belong there! So we were stuck with her for a bit. HF put her on another lead and we tried a couple of houses to ask if anyone knew where she was from, but no-one answered the door! OK, it was Saturday but it wasn't that early.

Eventually someone drove past and HF waved the car down - the human recognised the dog and was able to direct us back to the house back up the hill. Someone eventually came to the door and acknowledged that Nibbles (poor girl!) did indeed live there so we were able to get on and enjoy our walk.

Gorgeous colours around with the change in trees - that slowed us down too, HF kept taking photos! How many leaf photos can one person have!
