Walktober – 2025

Walktober is an annual October event where we take ourselves outside to enjoy all that Nature offers and then share it on our blog. Anyone can join in and do the same, it’s open to all, including your pets!

Wren wears a seasonal sycamore leaf hat!

Thanks to Dawn Kinster at Change is Hard, who hosts the meme and gathers everyone’s links to create one big Walktober post for all to enjoy sometime in early November. Click the link to find out how to share your own outing.

My favorite place to walk year ’round is our own 7.5 acres. After 35 years, our trails are well-worn and the route never gets old, as there are delights for all the senses around each and every bend. Enjoy the slideshow below as you join us on the trail.

    I remember walking some of that when we visited you way back when. Such a beautiful place.

  4. Such gorgeous autumn pic in your gallery. Autumn is such a lovely time of year.

    Wren looks very Autumny! I especially like the ‘purply’…screenshot & ID is Oak leaf Hydrangea…that grows in the wild?

  6. Oh Eliza, you suffer so on your block 🤗 Colors and shapes forever, even a stream to listen to its life flowing by. And a nice puppy dog, who’s puppy bits no doubt shows itself often, even if mom put the leaf there. They love a bit of space to play and adventure in all that growth 🤣❤️🙏

  10. Dale's avatar Dale says:

    Such lovely images, Eliza! Hard to choose a favourite.

  11. Your photo at top is spectacular! I have been trying to take a walk for a couple of weeks but instead have been swamped with GardenTober tasks — at least they are outdoors in the autumn air and sunshine!

  12. dawnkinster's avatar dawnkinster says:

    Oh my, what beautiful colors you found! And what a cute dog too! I’ll add you to my recap list for the November post. Thanks for sharing!

    Wonder filled Autumn 💞

  20. Seven acres, how nice. I have maybe an acre of trees, but not much to hike on.

  21. M.B. Henry's avatar M.B. Henry says:

    Lovely fall colors!

  22. Debbie's avatar Debbie says:

    Your Fall colors are terrific, especially the last one with the river. And I do hope you rewarded poor Wren for posing with that leaf on her head! I’m pretty sure the Monk wouldn’t stand for that, even with a handful of cookies as bait, ha!

    What a beautiful space to walk and be Eliza and the autumn colours look gorgeous! 🧡✨️ xxx

  24. Gorgeous, and I love Wren’s hat, Eliza!

  25. Your property is stunning. I’m glad you continue to enjoy the nature that surrounds you and my word, what a feast for the senses.

    That’s the best way to enjoy your fall color! There’s little to be seen here yet.

  28. restlessjo's avatar restlessjo says:

    Autumn colours are just the best, aren’t they? These are lovely xx

  29. Cathy's avatar Cathy says:

    How lovely Eliza! Having so many trails on your own property, and in woodland too, is such a bonus for you and Wren. 😃 The autumn colours and skies are beautiful.

  30. Jet Eliot's avatar Jet Eliot says:

    I so enjoyed your property and all these richly colored autumn delights, Eliza. Thanks for sharing your magical place.

  31. Oh, wow! Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!

    Lovely autumn colours!

  33. Nice pics. I love fall though we missed most of it this year as we were travelling. We are back on the blog posting our new adventures. (Suzanne)

  34. Tina's avatar Tina says:

    Great photos, Eliza! The leafy dog is a real charmer!

  35. Rupali's avatar Rupali says:

    The first image is just so amazing. It reminds me of printed floral frock.

  36. What a beautiful place to enjoy all the seasons!! Love the photos, especially Wren!🐾🙂

  37. gaiainaction's avatar gaiainaction says:

    How very beautiful Eliza! Your photos truly show the colours and feel of autumn. Love it! And the idea of your way is brilliant.

  38. Maria's avatar Maria says:

    Those fall colours!! We had mostly yellow this year, not so much dark orange and almost no red. It is also much warmer than usual for the season (wind and rain makes it feel cold but the temperatures aren’t.)

  39. Karma's avatar Karma says:

    Beautiful Walktober Eliza!

  40. Love having my own piece too. What’s on tap for November my walks have been in and around old cars time for new scenery.
