Our Walking Week - The Round Up

Last week we joined  My GBGV Life and Cascadian Nomads in their #DogWalkingWeek celebration. The idea was to think of ways to get out EVERY day for a walk and an adventure. Now admittedly we are very lucky because Mom takes us out and about just about every day BUT to stop it becoming boring she we set ourselves a little challenge day.  It can be anything from finding some yellow flowers, looking for butterflies, seeing an eagle or even looking for a 'lucky penny' someone has dropped. They are just small challenges but they make each walk interesting and different.

To celebrate the end of the walking week challenge we challenged ourselves to find some some fall colored leaves - pretty easy right - NOT !  Like many places the trees around here are still green and the few that are losing their leaves - they just went straight to brown. We spent two hours wandering around in MY park and found just one lonesome tree that has a "tinge" of pink to it. Not that we cared one bit about what color the leaves were - we just had to best two hours of sniffing any doggie could want :) Thank you to My GBGV Life and Cascadian Nomads for hosting such a great week.
Maybe they are over there!
Will yellow flowers will work Mom?
I'm stumped - where are all the fall leaves
Finally - a hint of pink on 1 whole tree!

  8. Your Autumn is looking a bit like ours. We only have the occasional tree change colour. We suppose you'll go back in a few week and it'll be a riot of colour.

  14. I'm sure you'll get some color soon. You just need the cooler temps to hang around a bit, and that will get the color bursting! Love the yellow flowers on the ground.

    We didn't make it out and about 7 days, but we did do 5 out of 7! I thought that was pretty good for us.

  17. OMD - we just LOVE LOVE LOVE the stump shot - so good!!!

    What's up with the leaves anyway? Ours are all still green too. It really seems late. Mom says we probably won't get much color and they will all just fall and be brown:(
