too ripe for dress-up

Mom, I told you I'm too old to dress up--all my friends are going to laugh at me!

Gromit: Honestly mom, we weren't doing anything...
Roxy: Can someone please get this obnoxious jock off of my bed?

Gromit's girlfriend is staying over for the weekend. Here he is chasing his ball through the puddles in the park while Roxy gallops alongside him.

In the beginning, we tried to go to Beacon Heights and take a picture each year (2004, 2005, & 2008). Other photos were taken at Mt. Jefferson, Rendezvous Mountain, Wiseman's View, Wilson Creek, and Black Mountain (2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, & 2011, respectively). Happy Anniversary, my sweet!

This was taken a few years ago when we were hiking at North Harper Creek. There were quite a few leaves collecting in a puddle at the base of the falls, and I happened to notice there was one brilliant red leaf among the ocher. It was (and is) one of my favorite fall photos.

Let's just go ahead and confess--I'm cheating again. This one was taken two years ago and features a gorgeous tree penetrating the Deep Gap fog. I promise I'll start taking new photos again soon. I wish the leaves were pretty here, but it looks like we're not going to have much color.

I'm cheating a bit with this one, which I took last October up near Mabry Mill. 'Tis the season (for pumpkins, not cheating, of course)!
