Another beautiful fall weekend!

 This weekend was very busy, but the weather was perfect, and we were able to enjoy some of the beautiful Fall foliage that is starting to appear throughout New England. On Saturday, my daughter and I drove from Connecticut to Massachusetts to meet up with a photographer.  This was the same photographer that took some beautiful pictures of Rory, now called Valkyrie, a couple weeks ago.

She agreed to take some pictures of our other collies, and Valkyrie and her owner came too, so we get some new pictures of the sisters!  While the pictures aren’t ready yet, she did give us a sneak preview…

The picture is just beautiful, and these two puppies are turning out to be everything we hoped for when we planned this litter!  We can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures! After we finished with the photo session, we drove to Amherst, New Hampshire for another FastCAT trial.  And along the way we were able to see some beautiful Fall colors.  Massachusetts and New Hampshire, being further North, have a lot more color than we do in Connecticut.  We stopped along the way, when we spotted this pretty lake.  My daughter’s collie, Sorsha, agreed to pose for a picture.



Winter is my least favorite season, so I am trying to enjoy every Autumn moment. Winter does have its beauty and it does include my favorite holiday, Christmas, I just hate the shorter days and freezing weather.  This Autumn is a little bittersweet though, as I miss taking pictures of my Ryder, the beautiful Fall colors just seemed designed for him.  But the other collies are happy to pose for me, and I will be sharing more of the pictures taken by Kenzy of Pinscher Portraits when they are ready!  Hope everyone is enjoying the last golden days of Autumn with their best friends!
