Appreciating Autumn

What better time to hike in Middlesex Fells than in the fall in the rain. The colors of the changing leaves seem brighter against the cloudy sky and the water makes the bark of the bare trees look dark and alive. It sounded so good some of our dinosaurs insisted on coming along for the walk.

Walking in the woods along a rocky path with the bright fall leaves all around is a bit like entering a prehistoric time... or so said the dinosaurs. 

"Look at my enormous foot prints!"

Very impressive. 

"Wow, ancient ruins!" The fire tower in Middlesex Fells was a big hit.

"But look at me! I'm bigger than the fire tower and bigger than those tiny humans over there!"

Eventually it got kind of cold. And the dinosaurs decided to "snuggle" up under the umbrella where it was warm and dry.
