More of the past few weeks

Out and about in the woods again. During the foliage, which by the way is THE BEST time of the year !
Nice and cool (generally for some reason it's unseasonally hot again here??)
Can you guess what we are collecting this day? Yes, the many leaves of bright colors only to bring home and press in wax paper. Maybe hang a few of the "tree stars" in the windows....again.

Smallest doggie model in the world, who infact just loves to have his picture taken. He poses wonderfully and is just as handsome as ever....and he's so spoiled !!
Being a model also requires alot of fluids and breaks. A quick sip from the near by pond and we are ready again. But...not without making sure I don't move from my spot...he keeps a very watchful eye on me !
