The colors of autumn

Duke and I ventured beyond our yard to look for some autumn color.
First I'll show you my two favorites.
This one has perhaps a little too much green in it but further down the tracks you can see the fall colors.

 Nothing spectacular but I liked it

This one was Duke's favorite. He said we had to have a picture of this.

  2. I like them all, but Duke getting his favorite shot in made me smile. I think our Little Bit would agree with Duke on this. Just saying.

    Have a terrific day. My best to Duke. :)

  24. out on the prairie, Duke does a good job of that :)

    Sandee I figure if I can show you my favorite fall sights so can Duke :P

    Nezzy aww thanks, I think most of the time I just get lucky with my shots :) I enjoyed your blog and look forward to my next visit

    sharkbytes I wouldn't mind having that in my backyard

    donna one of duke's many pit stops

    LDH thanks, I just love taking pictures of train tracks

    Lin Duke thanks you :)

    Julie that's ok Duke realizes that not everyone will see the beauty there...lol

    vanilla seven I believe he actually skipped the hydrant this time out

    grace thank you very much, the last one cracked me up putting it in

    beaded tail gotta have equal time for Duke

    anny duke says if dom every wants to visit he'll show it to him in person

    sheri they have been much better than what I expected

    tahtimbo thanks, breathe in that fresh fall air :)

    ann oh that would be horrible, especially since he sleep right by my bed...lol

    philippa aw thanks, I guess I don't see it as anything much because I know what the surrounding area looks like and it takes away from the sight

    Russ that one is my favorite too.

    Jen I giggled while I was doing the post

    catherine eww, too bad, I know it will be hitting us before long, I just hope it doesn't make an early arrival

    sandra I have quite a few pictures of those hydrants too. I'm saying that Duke makes me. my story and I'm sticking to it....lol

    livintheblues well thanks, I wonder if that's why I had a bit of a stomach ache today....lol

    b boys mom thanks, good think I had Duke along to point that out to me

    fullet thank you, anything with water always attracts my attention

  25. man over board, yes the tree in my front yard has only a couple stray leaves hanging on now. Somehow I think all the dead leaves multiply in my yard over the winter.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yep, it's getting there. By the way, is it a stupid question to ask if Duke has indeed "marked" that hydrant as being his very own or is that picture just meant to help him decide?

    ReplyDelete
  27. country mouse studios, thank you

    fishhawk I don't believe that Duke has left his official mark on that particular hydrant. maybe he's saving it for a special occasion

  28. These are a lovely set of enchanting and colourful photos ... too nice to keep to yourself so thank you for sharing them. I hope that you consider framing at least one of them.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Kloggers, why thank you very much and it was a pleasure to share them with all of you. I often consider framing lots of my photos but very rarely get around to ever doing it

    ReplyDelete
  30. He would like that, wouldn't he? I'm behind, behind, behind...catching up now. Can't wait to see Duke's costume :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. DSS but of course :) It's ok if you're behind around here, we're patient, we can wait for you to catch up...lol
