It's a sure sign that Fall has arrived when...

(Orting Washington)

The farmers are gathering their pumpkins...

(Issaquah Washington)

The apples are ripe for the picking...



The Salmon arrive to their final destination...



(Both salmon photo's taken at Issaquah creek)


AND THE PARAGLIDERS ARE HANGING OUT AT POO POO POINT ON TIGER MT...





Okay...So the paragliders do this year round, not just in the Fall ~ But I thought as long as I was taking photos and posting them I might as well throw these cool ones in~All the above photos I took within the last two days~ (by the way...You can click on any of these photos to enlarge)

♥~Hope Everyone Is Enjoying This Lovely Fall Season~♥

  1. Very neat pictures!! Yes, I'm enjoying fall here in Georgia, but it's 82 degrees!! When will summer ever end??? I'm ready for a break.

    By the way, do you live anywhere near Yakima, WA? My mom would leave her homestate of Arkansas many years ago with her family to pick apples there. I always loved to hear her talk about it. :)

  2. Hi Robin
    I enjoyed your wonderful recent fall pictures. Those paragliders are so brave. You would never get me doing that! I can imagine it would be a fantastic experience though, especially with such beautiful scenery you have in WA.
    It's been a wet autumn day here in England today but not really cold.

  3. Beautiful Photos Robin.

    I really love the pumpkins. So quaint and hometown feeling. This season of harvest with apples and squashes. Love it.

    We got some salmon this weekend. Just on the verge of a little soggy though. We will probably smoke them on the grill. The steelhead were still good though.

    Brave handgliders for sure. I am never going to top that braveness scale. No way.

    Take care.

  6. Love the pumpkin and apple pictures!! My three year old is sitting in my lap and said, "We went there." Not quiet, but we did go to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch. Guess they're all the same to a child...
    Hope you are having a fabulous week, Robin!!

  23. I remember every fall when I was little we would drive forever to get to a place caqlled Apple Hill. We would pick two large boxes of apples, buy apple cider and bring it all home. We would eat those apples throughout the rst of the fall. i don't know how they kept, but they did. I think it was to coldness of our pantry.

  35. Robin,
    You're so sweet to think of my mother. The appointment was just a mandatory one(because of the Assisted Living facility)so she could establish a new Dr. here. She just moved in Feb. So the blood tests were just precautionary.
    Blessings to you!

  40. Ah...I wish there was a good pumpkin patch here on the coast. We have to go inland for that.
    Maybe we will just grow our own next year!
