View from the Ranch

We have told you before about the Ranch above our house and even showed you the view of Chez Herd from the ranch.  Well, we were up there again Sunday afternoon to see the views of the leaves.

Zoomed in view of the house

While the humans were enjoying the mountain views, the dogs were very intrigued with totally different scenery.  What could possibly have their attention?

    Hey there all of you!
    That view is stunning and you live in an absolutely idyllic setting! Mom would donate her back teeth to live there! The colours are exquisite!
    We had to laugh at the picture of you all hanging out of the window. Your mom should link you up to some sort of ‘wheelie-sled’…with the petrol price as it is, I would think that the idea would be both ‘green’, ‘highly efficient’ and totally cost effective! hehe:)

    You are right Mr. Wall. It’s my job to supervise…but tele-supervising is tough. You’ve got to focus all your strength and try to visualize the office – try to see what those two are up to – sometimes it becomes so strenuous that I fall asleep.

    I like the grass-eating dog in the picture? Is that a Siberian Vegan?

    Oh, what a breathtaking view!!! The humans love the scenic view – the pups think the big dogs look like fun.

    I love the colors – such a variety of reds, oranges, and yellows. They remind me of my earlier years on the east coast.

    I’m surprised that the horse didn’t turn tail and run when he saw all those sibes hanging out the windows! What a great photo!

    I’ve been watching the PBS special about our national parks – and I just got to the part about the Smokey Mountains. What a beautiful place. It holds a record of some sort for the greatest variety of trees in a temperate forest. I guess that explains the array of colors!

    I feel so scenery deprived after seeing yours AND KB’s -

    Oh well, at least I have MY tree – BTW, I’m pawing this khomment FROM my tree!

    I’ve always thought that autumn leaves viewed from above look like a giant bowl of Trix cereal. Oh, wait, did I just say that out loud?

    You have such pretty places to go exploring. My mom never takes me anywhere but the same boring roads. She says she’d take us to the parks if it would ever stop raining. :)

    We are so jealous of that view! Mom LOVES the colors!

    Did you guys try to play with the big dogs? :)
