Sierra and Lucy are excited to find out what is in store for them in the Autumn Experience! As they enter, they each receive a free map! It reads:
Autumn in Red
Fall foliage in striking hues of red and orange will be seen all around on this tour along the riverbank. Your pet can collect pine cones, sample wild berries and currants, view beautiful plants in purple and red, and perhaps spot some exotic birdlife! Everypet will enjoy lingering on the bridge to view the peaceful scene as the sun goes down turning the river pink as it does so ...
PnF Meeting House
Before we begin the journey we need to check-in here to pick up a trail map and some travel snacks. Be sure to sign the register with how many are in your travel party and how long you plan to be on the trail. Don't forget to take a potty break before you head out!

As the sun continues to rise and the chill of the morning gives way, some of the hikers begin to shed their warm jackets and stuff them in their packs. A lone plant is dramatically silhouetted in the sun's golden light.

@ Autumn Stillness
Sierra thought the scenery at this new stop was lovely and asked Mia if it would be possible to set up camp for the night!
Autumn Stillness
As we behold the beauty of the golden leaves in the nearby trees, some clouds have rolled in, obscuring the sun for a bit. Some small fish in the river below are dining on insects that skim along the surface, creating little ripples on the calm water.

@ Ginger Root
Jeff and Sierra shook paws with each other and compared notes as to how their respective trips had gone so far, and which was the most delicious harvest item they had each come across.
Ginger Root
Ginger root is a well-known natural remedy for some common ailments. If you are prone to stomach upset and indigestion, nibbling on a small piece of raw ginger or drinking ginger tea can help alleviate your symptoms. But it is most useful on the journey as it helps your body to recover from muscle soreness after over-exertion. It will definitely come in handy today!

Japanese Maple in Orange
An important reminder when one is out on an adventure: remember to look up! There is so much beauty around us, we don't want to miss any of it, especially when it is something as wonderful as the sun's rays filtering through the orange leaves of this Japanese Maple tree.

"Puddle Rumchuckle, just take a look all around you and breathe deeply! Get that good fresh air in your lungs! Does it get any better than this?" asked Sierra, who had just met Puddle Rumchuckle at this Autumn Experience stop.
Japanese Maple in Red
See, glancing upward occasionally does have its benefits! As we continue along the trail we see a different variety of Japanese Maple, no less beautiful than the orange one. A treat to our eyes, this one is adorned in a fabulous crimson red.

@ Nectar Delight
“I’m going to have to spend a lot of time when we get back looking up what all these flowers are!” said Sierra to Foxy.
Nectar Delight
Be still and maybe it won't see you. Look over there on that red flower. It's a Micronesian Myzomela, and I almost didn't see it as it is somewhat camouflaged by the wispy red flowers it is sipping nectar from.

“You know, Cicero said 'If you have a garden and a library you have everything you need',” mused Tundra.

@ Basket of Pine Cones
“Great to meet you again, Schnupfen!” said Sierra. “Come and have some of this farm-grown organic food—it’s absolutely yummy!”
Basket of Pine Cones
According to the note attached to the basket, each of us is supposed to take a pine cone and plant the seeds in the designated area ahead. A park ranger will give us instructions when we get there. A pine forest covered in fresh snowfall is one of the most beautiful sights to see in winter. I'm happy to help add to that beauty!

Magnificent Maple
Dramatic sunlit maple branch is a magnificent sight to behold and stands in stark contrast to the soft grayscale backdrop.

Episode 15/25

@ Autumn Rose Bouquet
"How on earth do you identify what this is from the thousands of things it could be?" asked Ivory.
"Well," said Sierra, "you go through a checklist. Like what sort of leaves does it have, how are they arranged on the stem, do they have stalks, what's its habitat; that kind of thing. I'll lend you a book when we get home."
Autumn Rose Bouquet
The unmistakable fragrance of roses captures my attention as I leave the wooded area. I look down to see a beautiful arrangement of autumn-hued roses in a white ceramic pot.

Even in the chill of autumn, tender buds are still full of life, blooming brilliantly until the first frost.

@ Shiny Redcurrant Berries
matty greeted Sierra cheerily, recommending she expended some silver moles on the fresh harvest food before them.
Shiny Redcurrant Berries
Wild redcurrants can be found all over the countryside. They look temptingly sweet to eat, but these shiny red berries are usually made into redcurrant jelly because of their tartness.

Episode 20/25

@ Red and Purple Leafy Vine
Mini bent down to sniff the flower in front of her but recoiled hastily. “What’s up, Mini?” asked Sierra.
“There’s a huge bumblebee on it!” said Mini.
Red and Purple Leafy Vine
Growing on the side of the bridge is a mass of deep red and purple leafy vines. Deep blue berries hang in bunches just waiting to be eaten.

Episode 21/25

@ Waterlily Dahlias
"This is a glorious specimen, Gideon", observed Sierra. "What a shame that in a month or so all this colour will be gone!"
"You know the best way to get colour in your garden all year, Sierra?" said Gideon. "Buy a garden gnome!"
Waterlily Dahlias
Two beautiful waterlily dahlias in a vase create the perfect simple, yet elegant look. The stunning large blooms need no other adornment.

Episode 22/25

@ Colorful Berries
"I wish I knew more about horticulture, Pavo" said Sierra. "Sometimes I can't tell if something's a plant or a weed!"
"Oh, there's a sure-fire way of telling the difference, Sierra! Pull on it—if it comes out of the ground easily, it's a really valuable plant.”
Colorful Berries
Yet another offering of berries for snacking! Again, let's check the trail guide to be sure these are okay before eating them.

Episode 23/25

@ Teasels and Carnations
“You know, Cicero said 'If you have a garden and a library you have everything you need',” mused Choose a name.
"I don't think I've met Cicero," said Sierra. "Is he on this tour?"
Teasels and Carnations
Teasel weeds are a very common roadside plant. They look beautiful for being a weed, don't they? They are a favorite among crafters as they can be dried and painted any color. These lovely bi-color pink carnations pair perfectly with the purple painted teasels.

@ Autumn Berries
"How on earth do you identify what this is from the thousands of things it could be?" asked Icy.
"Well," said Sierra, "you go through a checklist. Like what sort of leaves does it have, how are they arranged on the stem, do they have stalks, what's its habitat; that kind of thing. I'll lend you a book when we get home."
Autumn Berries
A sea of red leaves act as the perfect backdrop to showcase yet another patch of little blue berries. I'm not hungry so I'll leave these for another traveler.
