Summer Leftovers

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week's post is a little ironic. You see, we had our first snow of the year on Wednesday night, a whole inch of snow fell!  Mama thought we would go out and take pictures of us doing snow zoomies Thursday morning. This would make a fun NF post for the week.

To our dismay, the snow must have turned to rain overnight. When Mama took us out Thursday morning, all the snow was gone!! Sooooooo, instead of a chilly snow post, we have a warm Botanical Garden Summer leftover post for your enjoyment today.

Aaaawwww, it seems like just yesterday everything was green

Here is a tall water lily bud reaching for the sky.

Here is another one, starting to bloom.

These warm weather pictures are nice Mama.....but Howliday time means snow, doesn't it??? 

Look! A pretty snowflo..I mean Sunflower.

Here is a pretty boy Wood Duck....

...and his girlfriend  posed for Mama too.

Let's wrap up this post with a pretty water lily

Summer is nice and all, but I REALLY wanted to play in the snow. 

Maybe next time Mama won't wait to to let us do snow zoomies!

We hope all our friends get to enjoy some nature (and maybe even some SNOW) this weekend!

Advent Calendar Yummies!

 

Today, on Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday, we are VERY thankful for Advent Calendar Yummies! This year, Mama went to Trader Joe's and picked up Advent Calendars for each of us! 

Annual Advent Calendars are always a gamble because we are kinda picky when it comes to treats.....

As you can see, Mama made a great choice this year, we snarfed those pieces of dehydrated chicken up in no time flat.

Trader Joe's makes some really yummy Advent Calendar treats and we are soooo thankful Mama got them for us!!

Nature FFF - A Beautiful November Hike

 

Welcome to the wonderful Friday each month where Nature Friday comes together with YAM Aunty's FFF!!  Make sure to visit YAM Aunty HERE to get the Rulez and join the FFF fun!! 

We totally missed Take A Hike Day this year, but today I wanted to say how very thankful we are for our local hikes. Last week I went on a special Mama, Daddy and me hike along the Rio Grande River. It is a very pretty trail about 15 minutes from home.

It was a beautiful day and the Rio Grande was pretty full because of the rains we had in October.

We had a beautiful view of the Sandia Mountains along part of our walk.

The trail was surrounded by beautiful Cottonwoods wearing their lovliest Autumn gold leaves.

As you can imagine, I was all smiles, mostly because I got to stop and smell EVERYTHING! 

Daddy and I make good walking buddies because we both like to walk and he makes sure to stop whenever I want to stop and smell something.  Mama, well she likes to "meander" look for the "perfect shot" for the blog like the artsy one above of me and Daddy under the leaf. 

 I really think this was the most beautiful hike we had all year. 

I am so happy and thankful to have so many hiking trails less than 30 minutes from home!

I hope all our friends get to see some nature this weekend!

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.
