This has been a busy week but it also has been a fun week. Like Monday Me, My Vickie, Goose, Miss Michelle, Trigger and John all met up in the mountains for a fun evening of swimming and hiking..
Tuesday was my day at the hospital and we also went in Tuesday Night and Wednesday morning. That is a lot of time for a guy like me. My Vickie was worried that I might have taken on too much pain and sadness from the patients so Wednesday night her and me went back up into the mountains to spend the night.
The weather is getting colder but nature is putting on a beautiful show. The leaves were especially beautiful as the maples and the aspens mixed their colorful joy throughout the mountainside.
The Yellows were so yellow, the oranges and reds so vibrant
There were places that the color would fill my coat with a strange shade that My Vickie could not name.
And of course there was Swimming at the lake.
We came across this guy who has survived the hunt. We are always so fearful during the hunt and we always lose friends, like this year, the twins were both killed by hunters.
This guy has been around for many years and it looks like he had a few battles during the rut.
Check out the missing spikes on his left antler.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and thanks for still visiting us even though we are not around so much.
My Dear Charlotte, just want you to know I think of you all the time.
Love
Bert

Bert, we are so glad you are able to get out in your mountains there and relax after all the hard work both you and your Mom do. The colors are so pretty there. And oh, that shot of you with the beautiful leaves all around is amazing.
Hope you and Mom can find time to enjoy the weekend.

Great picture of you in the water vegetation. I think it is one of MOM's favorites.
Blessings,
Goose
I'm glad that you've been to the mountains so many times. Winter arrived here just as I was planning a big hike. Oh well! I can smile at your photos!
I feel the same way about the hunt... I worry about my friends among the wildlife. That's why you haven't seen the humongous bull elk who has a whole harem of females living just behind my house on my blog. He's big!
I hope that you have a restful weekend.
Dear Bert

Wow - those fall colors are so pretty - ours haven't really started yet - hopefully this week we will start seeing some
The colors in the photos are stunning. Your work at the hospital is so important. I am glad you were able to escape the stresses and enjoy a romp in the mountains.
Hi Bert, As I was looking at your photos, I was thinking how pleasant the warm days are. Not here buddy-it is snowing today.
Glad you and your mom got to spend some time in nature getting refreshed. Have a great weekend.
Hugs, Noreen & Hunter
It's nice that you can get away to relax!

Howdy Bert thanks for all your wonderful photos. We love the big moose. Wonder if it hurts when part of the antler breaks off? Sorry about the twins :-(
No worries, and love, Stella and Rory

Have a wonderful weekend, Dear Friend!

Bert,
You look so happy in your wonderful environment. It makes us smile :D
Bert, I didn't think it was possible for you to look more handsome, but that autumn color framing you was unbelievable. So glad you have had such a fun-filled working and playing week.
Bert, you always seem to get the best pictures! Glad you had a good week. We thought of you when we were walking by your swimming hole today.
Your friends,

The trees are such purrrrrrrty colors where you are. We just don't see that here where I live!
Beautiful pictures! Your Vicki is brave, I'd have to work up a lot of courage to go camping just me and my dog :) glad you guys are having an easier time with blogger.
Those pictures are pretty. :)
Love the fall colors.
Hey Bert! It is so beautiful where you live!! And of course all of the pictures of you....we LOVE those!! Happy Monday!! xoxo Chloe and LadyBug

hey Bert,
So furry happy to see you back. Your photos are incredible, and I especially love the one of you in the reddish-orange leaves. Gorgeous!
I am sad to read of the loss of the Twins by the hunters, but furry happy the big ol' guy made it through o.k.
Your mom is smart to give you a break from your hospital duties. It is a wonderful job you have but I agree that the sadness and pain can become overwhelming. It is so inspiring that you work the hospitals. :->
Suka
Spectacular photos once again!! I agree with Goose.
Hey, your Internet is behaving itself! Autumn colours are so lovely. It would be my favourite season if not for the impending darkness and cold ;)
Sad about the moose (mooses? meese?). This sounds like a yearly cull. Best not to make friends, or maybe hide them when the hunters come round. Sigh.
Hi Y'all!
Just stoppin' by to say "hi" . Tryin' to catch up with y'all.
Sounds like y'all are having similar problems to mine.
Humans have been busy doing and going, plus computer "malfunctions" at most inopportune times. ..so I've really been missin' y'all! But I am havin' new adventures to relate to y'all!
Y'all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Happy to see you're having so much fun! I wonder what happened to that poor Moose's rack? Maybe he gave it to a friend...
Happy seeing beautiful!
I am so glad to see you Bert. The picture of you in the beautiful red leaves is amazing. You are so good to help people like you do. You and Miss Vickie are very special.
Loveys Sasha
