@ Scarlet Pathway
Bente and Belle IbKat 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 Purple
A country ramble awaits the pets and after exploring woodland paths, a small settlement will be found. At the spice store they will find cinnamon, chillies, star anise and chestnuts, plus purple flowers for perfumery. They will skirt a small lake before seeing a host of pink and purple-hued flowers and plants. Don't forget to grab an apple or two to munch as you head out onto the next stage of our tour!
Scarlet Pathway
As we begin our journey we are welcomed by a wonderful scarlet pathway. With the vivid canopy above, the crunchy leaves under our feet, and the sun-kissed trees on the side of the trail, we anticipate what beauty lies ahead.

Proceeding along the trail something unexpected happens right away. The canopy becomes so dense it gives the illusion of impending nightfall. The light beckons you ahead.

@ Undulating Road
Bente and Buzzz shook paws, then looked around in awe, wishing they hadn’t already eaten their lunch! This was the most perfect place for a picnic!
Undulating Road
The light leads us to the remnants of a paved gently undulating road shrouded with trees just beginning to lose their leaves. We wonder what pets have journeyed through here in times gone by.

Episode 4/25

@ Autumn Rice Field
Bente opened its rucksack to change its hat. Honey could see Bente had a baseball cap, a sombrero, a beret, a straw boater, a cricket cap, a sou'wester, a large, floppy sunhat and a pith helmet!
“Did you bring a mortarboard too?” Honey asked Bente.
Autumn Rice Field
This journey is definitely full of surprises! One never knows what to expect as they round the bend of life and this rice field is the perfect example. Who knew rice could grow here in the cool autumn temperatures?

Episode 5/25

@ Sunlight Road
“Let’s pose with one of us at each side and I’ll set the self-timer to take a shot,” said Bente to Meowchi. “It’ll be a wonderful souvenir of our time here!”
Sunlight Road
The undulating road has smoothed out and we are bathed in the warm rays of sunshine as they illuminate the path ahead and the glory of the autumn leaves.

Episode 6/25

@ Wild Blueberries
Bente was excited by seeing all the different harvest produce. “I’m going to apply for an allotment and start growing my own food!” he announced to Shadow, when they met and shook paws.
Wild Blueberries
Just as your tummy begins to rumble you spot these deeply colored wild blueberries in the brush beside the trail. The color is much deeper than the berries you have seen at the market and your mouth begins to water. Perfect timing and oh-so-refreshing!

Episode 7/25

@ Fresh Chestnuts
Inspired by the sunny day, Pavo said, “Wouldn't it be fun to work on the harvest?”
Bente took a more pragmatic view. “You’d have to be up before dawn every day and work for 12 hours practically non-stop!”
Pavo hastily revised his romantic harvest vision.
Fresh Chestnuts
As soon as my eyes catch the sight of these baskets of freshly harvested chestnuts, washed and ready to purchase, a familiar song gets stuck in my head. Is it too early to sing Christmas carols?

Episode 8/25

@ Vision in Violet
“I’m going to ask if I can take a cutting of this,” Casper said to Bente. “This would look just fine in a half barrel in my front garden!”
Vision in Violet
Pets who love the color purple will be captivated by the intense color of this gorgeous violet flower. The vendor claims it will last for weeks as a cut flower so no reason to leave without buying a bouquet.

Episode 9/25

@ Cinnamon Sticks and Star Anise
“This reminds me of Meadowlands,” observed Bente, musing as it and Rockstar took a moment to admire the produce beside them. “Such a lovely, peaceful scene.”
Cinnamon Sticks and Star Anise
Nothing smells like autumn like the aroma of hot spiced apple cider. Combine cinnamon sticks, star anise, oranges studded with whole cloves, brown sugar, allspice, nutmeg, and apple cider into a pot and steep them all together for a favorite fall drink.

Episode 10/25

@ Purple Potpourri
“Isn’t this amazing, Sephira?” declared Bente. “I’m seeing so many flowers and shrubs that I’ve never seen before!”
Purple Potpourri
Perfect for scented sachets or just place in a bowl for a room full of delightful floral fragrance. The color is a bonus for all lovers of purple.

Episode 11/25

@ Chili Peppers in Basket
“These are great as a cake flavouring,” said Bente.
“You can add it to savoury dishes as well. It’s very versatile,” observed Frisky.
Chili Peppers in Basket
Got a hungry dragon in the house? Need some dragon food? Fire-breathing dragons eat these by the bushels! Better stock up!

Episode 12/25

@ Purple Daisybush Flower
“I’m going to have to spend a lot of time when we get back looking up what all these flowers are!” said Bente to lily.
Purple Daisybush Flower
Also called African daisies, these beautiful flowers are a profusion of purple from spring to frost. So easy to grow and you will be in purple heaven for three seasons!

Episode 13/25

@ Log Cabin in the Woods
While Bente paused to enjoy the view, Cherokee started scrabbling in his rucksack for his portable, folding camping chair. “What are you doing with that, Cherokee?” asked Bente. “We’ll need to get going in a minute or we’ll be left behind!”
Log Cabin in the Woods
Ahhh, here it is, our lodging for tonight. We came upon this log cabin just in time as I need to stop and rest awhile. This cozy cabin in the woods looks so warm and inviting. We should get a good night's sleep in this peaceful spot! I do hope they have a porch swing to relax on!

Episode 14/25

@ Sunset Field
Bente opened its rucksack to change its hat. Snarky could see Bente had a baseball cap, a sombrero, a beret, a straw boater, a cricket cap, a sou'wester, a large, floppy sunhat and a pith helmet!
“Did you bring a mortarboard too?” Snarky asked Bente.
Sunset Field
Sitting on the porch of the cabin watching the sun as it sets over the fields in the valley, you are thankful for the beauty all around in PnF land.

Episode 15/25

@ Purple Rose Bouquet
Frost bent down to sniff the flower in front of him but recoiled hastily. “What’s up, Frost?” asked Bente.
“There’s a huge bumblebee on it!” said Frost.
Purple Rose Bouquet
No rose is a mysterious as the purple rose and its fragrance is just as fascinating. This single rose is simply stunning when placed in a bouquet with other lavender-hued flowers.

Episode 16/25

@ Lilac Blooms
“I’m going to have to spend a lot of time when we get back looking up what all these flowers are!” said Bente to PetPet.
Lilac Blooms
What an extremely rare sight! I bet you didn't know there was a variety of lilacs that blooms in the fall. Well, there is! It's called Josee Reblooming Lilac. Lilacs, not just for spring anymore!

Episode 17/25

@ Silk Flowers on White
"I wish I knew more about horticulture, Pandette" said Bente. "Sometimes I can't tell if something's a plant or a weed!"
"Oh, there's a sure-fire way of telling the difference, Bente! Pull on it—if it comes out of the ground easily, it's a really valuable plant.”
Silk Flowers on White
Pale pink and deep burgundy silk flowers on a pure, clean white background.

Episode 18/25

@ Dusky Twilight
“What have you got in your tote bag, CatchThis18?” asked Bente. “It looks very full!”
“I’ve come prepared for anything the weather can throw at us, Bente,” responded CatchThis18. “There’s deck shoes, snowshoes, tennis shoes, flip-flops, flippers, walking boots, Wellington boots—you name them, I’ve got them!”
Dusky Twilight
As daylight fades into darkness the earth is bathed in soft pink and purple diffused hues. An old white picket fence stands guard as it has for years.

Episode 19/25

@ Candle and Purple Flower
“I’m going to have to spend a lot of time when we get back looking up what all these flowers are!” said Bente to Symphony.
Candle and Purple Flower
Once you pass this point in your journey please light the candle and sign the guest book located in the weatherproof booth. Tell us where you are from; then extinguish the candle for safety.

Episode 20/25

@ Purple Leaf with Raindrops
"I think I'll take a cutting of the plant in that tub over there," said Bente. The label says it's 'vigorous' and 'fearless'."
Icy sniffed. "That's gardeners' talk for 'an invasive species that will take over your entire garden if permitted'!"
Purple Leaf with Raindrops
A brief shower has just passed through and left a plethora of sparkling raindrops on a deep purple leaf. I hope you didn't get wet!

Episode 21/25

@ Purple Leaf Plant
“I’m going to have to spend a lot of time when we get back looking up what all these flowers are!” said Bente to Tristan.

The sun has come out and a rare warm autumn breeze has dried up the raindrops on the leaf so now you can see what the rest of the purple-leaved plant looks like.

Episode 22/25

@ Apple Harvest
Bente was excited by seeing all the different harvest produce. “I’m going to apply for an allotment and start growing my own food!” he announced to Dilly, when they met and shook paws.
Apple Harvest
Q: Does an apple a day keep the doctor away?
A: Yes, if you throw it hard enough!

Episode 23/25

@ Pink Poinsettia Flowers
"Mushroom, was that last one we looked at a thorn bush with roses? Or a rose bush with thorns?" asked Bente.
Pink Poinsettia Flowers
Pale pink and dark purple leaves make this a quite dramatic poinsettia plant! And no, it's not too early to think about poinsettias because if we want them to look like this they need to be placed into a dark room several months before Christmas so that the leaves change colors.

Episode 24/25

@ Feathery Plumes in Pink
“I’ve written a postcard to Mrs Eucalyptus about this amazing Autumn Experience!” said Bente. “She’ll wish she were here! Where’s the nearest postbox?”
Finn shielded his eyes and rotated 360°, elaborately scanning the horizon. “I don’t know how it comes about, but they appear not to have thought to provide a postbox here, Bente. How remiss of them!” Seeing Bente’s ears beginning to droop, Finn added, “Don’t worry, you can post your card after this leg of the Experience!”
Feathery Plumes in Pink
Soft and wispy, like a daydream, these delicate-looking flowers are anything but that. They are actually a sturdy wildflower, blooming all summer long through the end of autumn.

Episode 25/25
