In the brisk Autumn air,
The collie bounds,
Into the forest of red and gold,
A Fall palette of color surrounds.
Dancing through the falling leaves,
His steps are swift and light,
Chasing squirrels through the trees,
His playful spirit takes flight.
His burnished coat of red and brown,
His paws so snowy white,
His beauty steals my breath away,
In my Autumn collie I delight.

These pictures were from many years ago, when my Ryder was a young collie. But they are some of my favorites so I wanted to share them once again.
What a wonderful poem and you, Ryder, look fabulous surrounded by the beautiful autumn colors!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall photos.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful colours, in the leaves and on Ryder. I can see why you like them so much. They very much bring to mind publicity images, high quality images one might have seen for Lassie way back in the day. Such a delight.
