We went a long walk across one of the five mountain ridges

along broad streams next to fields, criss crossed with mini bridges

fields and streams turned to forest

it was truly beautiful

the autumn sun played on the trees 

bright sunshine, but gentle breeze

Milou could not believe her luck

twice today she got to race around and chase the duck

some moved swiftly across the lake

leaving their glittering trails in their wake

others were left unperturbed

intent on their doing, therefore undisturbed

Again a smaller walk

another beautiful sunny day

Milou bounded along the shoreline 

needing someone else to play

Pom pom showed up in the the nick of time

leaping about very much in his prime

We set out late on account i was not much better

Milou was excited to be out, so i just let her

more snow has fallen in the night

visible across the peaks

it will be white again in just a matter of weeks

Today i am not felling well

bad sleep and a nose running like hell

the weather however is beautiful and bright

dancing again like a water sprite

upon the lake

There are signs of a sprinkling of first winter snow

the mountains are just visible, later they are out on full show

clouds and the extraordinary light 

are always a feast to me of pure autumn delight

Today was fragmented for Milou regarding a walk

the weather looked uncertain

by the time we arrived it was a hot sunny day

a bit too hot to run and play

later we did the usual tour

for Milou, Marc and i, it will never be a bore
