Full On Fall

 

This is what happens when I go half a month without adding any photos I'm taking. 

Google is pain trying to dis-order them and I'm not going to go through and enlarge 100 different photographs (Google simply will not upload them any larger and you have to do them one at a time to get them larger.) So here, again, is a photo dump of the first two weeks of October.

Spoiler alert: it's all dogs and fall foliage, which seems to be at peak at the date of this writing (October 15) around the neighborhood. 

And it's official, the Autumn Purple Ash tree is just my favorite. The aspens are amazing along the mountains, but for mile-high growth and color, I just can't get enough of these ash trees. 

I'm thinking I need to look into getting a couple of saplings for the back yard since they are pretty fast growing and get some more shade and some spectacular foliage each autumn in my own yard soon.

also, while most of the flowers are winding down this one just decided to put on all its blooms and sprout a whole new section!

Aidan keeps being a bit standoffish with the two little ones. He'll join in, but wants a bit of room. 

Remi does not like to be left alone.

more weirdly coming on flowers when everything else is drying up

The last batch are all from today's (10/15)  walks around the neighborhood to catch both  some morning sun on the trees and again in the afternoon. The wind that came through yesterday starting the job of knocking quite a lot down to the yards and in another week most of the color will be under our feet. 

never without the tennis ball
