@ PnF Meeting House
Shandy and Jubb Jubb 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!

@ Sleepy River Sunrise
While Shandy paused to enjoy the view, Sugie started scrabbling in her rucksack for her portable, folding camping chair. “What are you doing with that, Sugie?” asked Shandy. “We’ll need to get going in a minute or we’ll be left behind!”
Sleepy River Sunrise
The sun is just beginning to illuminate the sky, casting a warm glow on the sleepy river and the sleepy pets in the village. We begin our journey early in the cool of the day as the PnF weatherpet has predicted an unusually warm autumn day ahead.

@ Autumn Stillness
Shandy and Juice shook paws, said “How do you do?” and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Shandy. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Juice. “This is my best side.”
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.

The glorious colors of autumn overflow in profusion along the trail prompting a chorus of 'oohs' and 'ahs' among the travelers. We pause and stare in rapturous awe for a moment before proceeding.

@ Ginger Root
“This reminds me of Meadowlands,” observed Shandy, musing as she and Flutter took a moment to admire the produce beside them. “Such a lovely, peaceful scene.”
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!

The PnF gardener has done a fabulous job landscaping along the trail. Pots of flowers have been placed throughout to display an array of vivid autumn colors. This deep pink hued dahlia is delightful!

Episode 10/25

@ Marvelous Magenta Flower
"I think I'll take a cutting of the plant in that tub over there," said Shandy. The label says it's 'vigorous' and 'fearless'."
Specks sniffed. "That's gardeners' talk for 'an invasive species that will take over your entire garden if permitted'!"
Marvelous Magenta Flower
This stunning magenta floral specimen is a real show-stopper! It's simply 'mauvelous,' isn't it!

@ Nectar Delight
Unitee bent down to sniff the flower in front of her but recoiled hastily. “What’s up, Unitee?” asked Shandy.
“There’s a huge bumblebee on it!” said Unitee.
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.

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!

@ Shiny Redcurrant Berries
Emerald greeted Shandy cheerily, recommending she expended some silver moles on the fresh harvest food before them.

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.

“What’s this flower called?” Shandy said to Andrew. “Er—I only know the Latin name for it,” said Andrew and hastily changed the subject.

Two beautiful waterlily dahlias in a vase create the perfect simple, yet elegant look. The stunning large blooms need no other adornment.

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.
