We’ve had a ton of beautiful weather days this fall, and the leaves suddenly turned. We thought it would be fun to go out as a family and take some pretty photos. Mom rarely walks all three of us because Katie is quite slow and can’t go as far, but we wanted to have her along, so we selected a shorter route.
At home the trees leaves were all so pretty, and on the drive to the lake, we saw beautiful colors too, but when we got to our spot, they had either fallen already, or they weren’t real bold colored.
The Sumac is usually a nice bright red, but the patch we found was almost gone. There is still a bit of red to be seen, though.
The trees behind this patch of weeds looked pretty nice.
It was almost 70 out that day, so we were all panting a bit.
The other side of the lake had some colored leaves in the tree tops. No idea what Katie was seeing to make her lick her lips like that…how embarrassing!
I liked this grassy area with the colored leaves in the background.
Then we decided to give up looking for colored leaves and just sit in some leaves! It was a fun outing with all three of us. It was slow going, but it is great to be together and we all got out into the fresh air and stretched our legs for a good hour. Katie was really happy to get to go along with us too. Walking is such a great activity for everyone! Have you gone on any leaf tours this fall?

Oh I love those pawtraits!!!
We got some nice ones of the three of us.
Most of the leaves down by us are almost of the trees after yesterdays wind, but Spencer sure is enjoying these nice days! So happy that all three of you were able to go exploring! 🙂
I think last week was the best for leaves, not it is starting to look pretty bare around here.
You three are so cute!! I absolutely love your fall photos!! Such gorgeous colors! 😀
Thank you. Mom says we are a cute threesome.
It is very pretty where you live. Our leaves are starting to change so we will post some pretty red and orange trees. soon. ♥ Your Basset, Bentley
Now most of our leaves have hit the ground so it is looking pretty colorful on the grass but bare on the trees.
Great pictures y’all!
Thank you.
You’ve got some lovely photos there!
Thank you. It is hard to get all three of us to cooperate at the same time, mainly Katie doesn’t like to, but we managed pretty well.
Lovely pix and Fall looks beautiful where you are. Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly
It was absolutely gorgeous the past week or so. Now most of the good leaves have committed suicide and are lying dead on the ground.
What a great collection of family photos. The leaves provide such wonderful backgrounds for all the dogs.
We wish there was a bit more color in the leaves, but the photos came out pretty well.
those are some wonderful photos and we are glad Katie got to go along too
It’s nice when we can all go along, but it takes a lot of patience with our different speeds.
Nothing better than the entire family being together !
That’s right!
WE don’t get the fall leaf color here, so we love looking at everyone’s pictures. Love that last one of the three of you looking off to the left…a squirrel?
Family squirrel focus I guess. Plenty of beautiful color here and we love it.
beautiful dogs, beautiful scenery. We do not get much changing of the leaves here in Central Florida, but right now it is 66 degrees outside…yippee! I was good yesterday so I am back to…Sparkle the PBGV
Florida does have seasons sort of, but nothing like here. We love all the smells in the fallen leaves.
Oh Emma, the colors by you are just BEAUTIFUL! What a lovely place for a walk! Happy Friday.

It was real nice but almost too warm. Our temps are really all over the map, so it’s hard to know which fur to wear in the morning!
Gorgeous fall colors, Emma and fam! You look like you had a blast. It’s so beautiful out when the weather cooperates and the colors are as vibrant as they are in your photos! Enjoy the weather! 🙂
We are having such a great fall with the perfect weather and gorgeous colors!
Sitting in leaves is the best Emma, having your sisters to sit with you makes it even better! Great outdoor fun!
Just have to watch the leaf butt when we get up 🙂
Hi Y’all!
Oh what a beautiful place you walked! Funny how leaves turn with the light whether it frosts or not.
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
True, but we had a couple hard frost mornings that really accelerated the process.
Bar and I always have the same trouble! Every year, I plan to go to our favorite spot at the arboretum to take pictures with the leaves and every year when we get there, the leaves either haven’t changed (even though all the leaves on the drive there have) or they’ve already fallen, so we’ve yet to get pretty pictures at that spot! Our neighborhood has been stunning, though! Glad you got to go out and enjoy a nice walk!
The other problem for close up photos is the trees are up too high, but we do alright this year.
Those really are such terrific photos and y’all look wonderful!
Thank you!
What great shots! Thanks for sharing!!
Just having some good old fall fun!
You got some great photos of the three of you. It looks like a lovely place for a walk.
It is a great trail and not too long, so Katie can do it with us.
Its so great to see Katie out with you and Bailee! Looks like you got to enjoy a beautiful Fall day together. We went to woods yesterday too! Love Dolly
It was a lot of fun, just have to go slow with Katie and then with all the photos, it turned into a long adventure.
I’ve tried to notice the leaves on our daily walks. We had a couple of weeks where the colors were SO vibrant and then it was over. Now it is raining and cold and it will bring down all of those leaves. Still I can’t really complain, we’ve had a beautiful summer and fall.
We need some rain, but we just keep having beautiful sunny days, so we can’t complain about that!
Yes walking is a wonderful activity to stay fit! You always have the best pictures!
Thank you, my photographer is always working to get better and better. Walking is something we can all do forever hopefully.
Great to see the whole gang along for photos with a beautiful backdrop.
It was a lot of fun, but stressful for Mom with all of us and our different speeds and ideas.
Sounds like you had a wonderful walk! Plus some beautiful fall photos too!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Some rare family walk time.
Great group shots for fall!
They came out pretty good.
We’ve not gone on any leaf tours YET. I am planning a trip further north next month to do some hiking, so I am hoping to see some pretty leaves then! Love the photos. You are all so pretty!
It just depends on the area. Minnesota is about done with leaves at this point.
What an adorable bunch
Lily & Edward
Bunch of bananas, or Brady Bunch? 😉
Gorgeous photos! What beautiful models, they look they love their pictures taken. I love the colors of fall
Bailie and I love it, but Katie not so much. She was really into it on that day, though.
Love the Fall Gang! 🙂
Thank you!
Isn’t AUTUMN just Magical… We went fur a Drive to see the leaves today. It was GRRREAT. THANKS fur sharing YOURS with us.
I hope you got some good smells on your drive! There is so much to sniff in the leaves and stuff.
What beautiful photos of you three girls and the fall colors. Our colors went by very quickly this year in some areas, so you had to get out at just the right time to get good photos.
We never got the photos we really wanted, but we did better than we thought we would.
The leaves haven’t quite turned all the way yet but it’s been really rainy this week so no leaf tours for us!
That is a bummer. We’ve been lucky and had super duper weather!
I visited my family in Minnesota last week (just got back Wednesday). I was there at the perfect time. The leaves were absolutely gorgeous on the day I arrived, and by the time I left 7 days later they were either pretty brown or mostly fallen off. I do agree the leaves were prettier other years, though.
This whole fall has been awesome weather and leaves. You picked a great time to visit!
I loved seeing all three of the girls posing outside.
I thought the colors were less brilliant this year. I don’t think they look as vibrant if we don’t get a hard frost.
Ours were so so, and then we had a couple hard frost mornings and they just popped.
Love your photos! We went in search of leaf color earlier this week, but it’s still a little too early here.
Ours is pretty much done now, but I guess that far south the season is a bit later on.
Beautiful photos! Autumn is so beautiful. Glad you three had fun together! 🙂
We had a nice relaxing time.
Beautiful! Things have been just perfect for “leafing” here too though I have been to fall danger dazed to take many photos.
Other than finding something gross under a cover of leaves it is pretty safe around here. We love hearing the leaves rustle under our paws.
What a beautiful place. The leaves are very pretty. We have a maple in our yard that hasn’t even started turning color yet when many of the other trees are already losing their leaves. Of course it is the very last to leaf out in the Spring. I guess it is just off schedule…lol. Now at the cabin, the trees have lost their leaves. We won’t see leaves again until June. It is such a long haul!
November and early spring are the worst times of year because everything is just dead, but once snow hits we think it looks pretty again.
You all look gorgeous and I bet Katie enjoyed being out with you.
She did. She loves to go along, but it is hard these days as she is pretty slow and can’t go very far.
What a special day you had. I know Katie loved going with you.
She does love it, but it is not always easy. We still try to take her along on fun events, though.
Very pretty! Katie does look like she had a nice time with you all.
She did have a nice time. It is just hard for her to try to keep up with everyone, but all the photo breaks help.
Our mom went out with the camera this morning to walk for an hour – and no matter HOW hard I begged, she refused to take me. *sighhh* I’m jealous of you guys! ~Faraday
Let me private message you cat bro Bert’s cell number. He is always complaining because he wants to go out walking with us but is not allowed to. You all could have a nice chat session about the issue 😉
Beautiful fall colors and photo.
Most of the leaves are gone now, but there are still a few pretty trees to look at. I think that week was the peak.
the colours of fall are lovely… the human is always envious of your cooler temperatures too… hot and sweaty here 😛
We are looking forward to the snow and cold. Hot and humid just is no fun.
