Autumn with Jane Austen Eyre and a Newt and a Beetle Bug




Jane absolutely LOVES to pick up the leaves. She thinks it is something that she should not have and therefore ZOOMS away from us like "he, he, he...Catch Me If You Can". She is so fast I can't believe it.

Here is another picture of Autumn with Jane. This one is my favorite.




And also, this little guy greeted us yesterday first thing in the morning! I think it is a Newt.


McKenna was the one who actually picked it up to put him in a safer place. Me...oh let's just say I'm not too fond of little critters like this...they are okay to look at but No Way am I going to pick one up!!




Here is another picture of the little guy.




Don't they have cool tails!



While McKenna was taking the Newt's picture, she came across this Beetle Bug! It's kinda pretty, don't cha think?

I watch the little leaves
that fall,
as they drift down to the ground,
they softly call my name.

I watch them float
from here to there
and sometime wonder why.
I wonder how they know my name.

Your little Jane is so adorable! I think it's so cute how she picks the leaves up in her mouth! It's funny how our little animals find ways to entertain themselves. The beetle.... Well all I can say is yuk!!! But you captured him well :>) I hope you have a lovely week.

What a wonderful Autumn photo of Miss Jane! How funny that she thinks she's not supposed to pick up leaves and then runs away from you for a game of chase! Our kitty, Henry, loves to catch leaves and he is quite good at it! We have a basket of decorative leaves on an end table and we constantly have leaves on our living room carpet!
Loved her picture!

Newts, and puppies, and leaves, oh my!

Oh my goodness...your little Jane is adorable. We had a black pug "Tiny" who was a daddy's girl all the way. We miss her so much. She was much more fiesty than our fawn pugs have been. I'll come back and visit more soon. Our pug angel "Chichi" picked up cigarette butts and ran from us!
