My parents have quite a bit of land that they own. It’s like a nature preserve with tons of wildlife and plants and a pond. My dad has been doing a lot of work outside over the past year. Mostly just cleaning things up - removing brush so that the trails are walkable and that sort of thing.

On Saturday it was raining and gray and cold so we didn’t go outside much, but on Sunday morning it was really sunny. My dad and I went for a walk around the pond. A little way out I heard a noise and realized that Bailey was following us. We walked about halfway around the pond. On the way back my mom and Dakoda met up with us. It was nice to be out in nature on a cold but sunny fall day.

    I’m breathless Shell. You have a magical eye for capturing the absolute perfect shot every time.

    oh, believe me, there were tons of shots I didn’t use! If you take 1,000 photos and use 10 of them, it makes it look like you have a magical eye! I also color corrected and oversaturated these because the fall sun is all about saturated colors. :) But thanks!

    Beautiful shots. The colors are magical this time of year–it’s almost a shame autumn is so brief.

    Did you color correct and oversaturate while shooting or with photoshop or something?

    Beautiful pics, Rachelle!

    My dad was born in Waupaca so I spent a lot of time there as a kid. My uncle just bought a farm up there this fall. It’s a beautiful area.

    If you’re ever looking for a good pizza, the Wheelhouse in King makes a pretty good one.

    Reminds me of the beautiful days we used to spend w/my grandma’s family up near Little Chute and Oshkosh…
