The Sunday Schnauzer – Walktober Glory

On By Widow BadassIn Adventures with dogs, Bowser the Schnauzer15 Comments

As some of you may remember, I recently switched web hosts. During that time of switchover, I initially published this post on October 26, however it did not make it into my blog once the transition was completed to the new host. It exists somewhere in cyberspace and thankfully I could recover it from The Widow Badass Facebook page. I am republishing it today (November 2) as a kind-of bonus Sunday Schnauzer 😄. Feel free to ignore if you have already read it!

This is my official submission to Dawn’s (Change is Hard) Walktober post.

Back from the torture place dog spa and ready for Thanksgiving weekend (and our next walk!).
The start of another fabulous fall walk on a glorious October day…
Perusing the view from the top of one of the forestry company’s many ditches dug this spring (grrrr).
A Big Leaf maple leaf got stuck on my hiking pole.
Instead of his usual leaping over obstacles, Bowser decided to leisurely traverse this log for a change of pace.
Deciding where to go next.
Another gentle hop over a log about to happen. Bowser was very Zen-like during this walk for some reason.
Heading towards what I like to call Fernlandia.
Heading out of the Witchy Woods and towards the light.
Bowser at the path at the edge of the ravine leading to the still almost-dry creek bed.
Always remember to look up at this time of the year!
Enjoying the warm sun on our faces.

Rock on, stay Walktober Zen, and remember to keep those elbows up…

The Sunday Schnauzer – Fall Colours #walktober

On By Widow BadassIn Adventures with dogs, Bowser the Schnauzer43 Comments

Nature has a more limited colour palette here in the west, than it does in the eastern part of Canada. But Bowser and I are appreciating every day, just the same.

Big Leaf Maple leaf.
I believe this is called toadflax. One of the few plants flowering at this time of year.
The odd bit of red comes from dying salal leaves.
It’s hard to get close-ups of Bowser as he is eager to trot ahead and explore.
Oh, looks like he finally remembered I am on this walk too 🤣.
Brilliant blue skies provide a great backdrop for the changing colours.
Bronzy ferns.
The rains mean return of puddles in all the ruts.
Still plenty of green to be seen.

We hope you are having a great and colourful weekend! This is my post for Change is Hard’s Walktober Challenge.

Rock on,

The WB
