Hello,
October has arrived quickly for me, the days are just flying by. We are dog sitting for our grand-doggie Nibbles the first week of October. Our son and his friends are going on a cruise. I hope he has a great weather for his cruise. Their cruise ship returns to Miami tomorrow, please say a prayer for all in Florida and the path of Hurricane Matthew!
These are some photos from our daytrip to Shenandoah National Park. When we first arrived in the park we saw some fog and low lying clouds over the mountains. We still had some nice views of the valley and river. We took our favorite walk on the Limberlost trail and we saw a Black Bear in a tree near the Big Meadows campstore parking lot. I will share the bear on my Saturday's Critter post.
The mountain tops are hidden with these clouds.
Looking down at some house and barns from the Skyline Drive.
Some scenes from our walk on the Limberlost trail.
Isn't this a cute place, I could zoom in from one of the park's overlooks. I love the farm house and there is a nice red barn.
My last two books were Magic by Danielle Steel and the #10 Anniversary from the Women's Murder Club series by James Patterson. I recommend and enjoyed both books by Steel and Patterson. They are two of my favorite authors. I am now starting a new series by Lauren Carr, the first book is called Kill and Run.
Thank you for visiting and as always thank you for the nice comments. Have a great day and new week ahead!
Here is my list of memes for the week, I hope you can check one or some of these fun memes and the participants post.

Hello,
Beautiful scenes! The red barns are so nice to see. Wonderful clouds, too!
Have a nice new week!
What a wonderful day trip Eileen to a gorgeous part of the country. You had some "bird eye" views. Thanks for making The Barn Collective a part of your week. I hope that you will visit again soon.
fog makes for some beautiful images!! i like the boarded trail, that would be nice and smooth for me, making the journey a bit easier!!
beautiful farm house and red barn!!!
how beautiful fall pictures.. My parched mind yearned for rain.. :(
What a glorious scene in your last photo, and the colour in the trees is so lovely.
I hope your son enjoys his cruise and happy dog-sitting!
All the best Jan
Looks like fall colors are starting in your area!
I could live in that house in the last photo, and so much land i would have a wonderful garden.

Gorgeous photos, Eileen! Love the views from the park, and the farm looks so inviting, I could live there. :)
Beautiful shots. I too like James Patterson books. I have read all the Murder Club books except for #14---it should come out in paperback soon.

The boardwalk, a squirrel, and the views from higher up, a beautiful place to visit or live.
How I love these pictures, Eileen. Cute little chipmunk, too. Thanks for sharing the books also.
Enjoy your new week.
Breathtaking pictures. Tank you for sharing such beauty
the barn view is spectacular.
I love Patterson. The Alex Cross series and the women's murder club. I don't read very often but when I do it's one of those. Pretty scenery..Love the last picture
It's cool out and the leaves are changing, so here we are!
Love that cute chippie!

Such a beautiful countryside...love the red barns. Fascinating walk along the trail, blessing you with some nice scenes. Happy October, Eileen. Thank you for coming by my blog and visiting.
Beautiful views . . .
I liked the house, red barn, roof . . .
Happy reading!
A lovely trip in any weather! The farm is really so picturesque, what a beautiful place that would be to call home!
Oh I love your Autumnal shots!
Though your trees are still green, that fog looks like chilly fall! I like the look of that frilly fungi.
A beautiful scenic place. I would love to walk that trail.
Such beautiful scenery.
That view from Skyline drive looks a lot like around here where I live.
Nice shots! It's one of my favorite places.
Love the picture with the walking track!

So beautiful !
Best regards, Synnöve
beautiful scenes!
Piękne widoki uwidocznione ślicznie na zdjęciach. Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
Helloo, Just saw your new post. Beautiful pics. Amazing views.
Greetings from India
The farmhouse is situated in fantastic surroundings. What a beautiful forest in autumn colors.
Holy cow! How'd it get to be the 3rd of October.
I was out hiking and sweating by backend off...didn't feel like October.
Hi Eileen, Aw, that Chipmunk is a cutie. I miss seeing Chipmunks as there are none here in my area. Have a super good day!
Such beautiful scenery, you take us on the best walks Eileen!
Happy MM.
Lovely scenery. Yup..time flies. It seems just yesterday was January and niw we have come to the last quarter of the year already
thanks for the new author to check out, have not heard of carr.
I do love looking at the views of the misty mountains and down on the beautiful house and barn. I have not see those type views since 1959, this is like traveling back in time... GA and FL the parts I am in or flat as a table.
Beautiful!
Your photos bring back memories from our trip along Skyline Drive years ago
Have a wonderful week!
These are just gorgeous scenes from your trip! The farms below are so pretty and the red barns really pop!
Great to see a cute chipmunk!
Have a great week!
Nice piece of countryside, beautiful.
The Skyline Drive offers so many great vistas. Wonderful photos! Happy Mosaic Monday, Eileen.
Boa tarde, as fotos e as paisagem são soberbas, assim vale sempre a pena ir passear.
Boa semana,
AG
Lovely scenery and autumn tints.
Wonderful view of the valley. I love October's colorful changes.
Hi Eileen, great views from Skyline Drive. I am looking forward to taking Limberlost Trail now that my ankle seems to be behaving itself :) The bear sighting is amazing especially as it is so close to the store. I know it well. Look forward to your photos. My son saw James Patterson down in Orlando recently. He was one of the guest speakers at my son's business conference. He was down there for a week. He said he was great on stage.
Oh so lovely, Eileen! Wishing you a beautiful week!
Such beautiful scenes! I love the red roofs and red barns. Have a great week!
I love seeing those heavy clouds! And isn't that chipmunk adorable! See you Sat for your bear pics! Hugs, Diane (more books to add to my list..thanks!)
Happy Monday to you Eileen! I enjoyed seeing your mosaic and your barn collective contribution. Hope you new week is going well.
Blessings!
Awesome red barns and wonderful shots of nature's beauty ~ thanks!
Wishing you a Happy Week ~ ^_^
Beautiful photos from the park.
Enjoy dogsitting. !
Wow, that's a nice place!
September flew by. Wonderful images Eileen and such a cute little chipmunk! Have a fantastic week :)
I hope you son had good weather for his cruise. Hurricane Matthew looks to be a bad one. I enjoyed seeing Skyline Drive--we drove that road a few times in the past. I also like Patterson's books --they are always suspenseful!
Wow, Eileen the place is too beautiful. I would love to be at the mountain top.
Oh my October arrived quickly didn't it! Love your cloudy shouts Eileen. Wishing you a happy week ahead.
Beautiful photos, Eileen - love the scenes looking down on the valleys. How exciting to see a bear! Hope your son has fun on his cruise. I'm pet-sitting the grand-pups, too! xx Karen
The views surely looks interesting and i love most that last one with the very colorful houses against the green forest. I also love the sparsely laid houses.
lovely scenery!
Looks like lovely countryside around there.
yea, definately autumn. But still much colors and beauty.
Eileen, Great shots. The most intriguing for me is the second one where the is a stone border along the road. Is that to prevent cars from going over? Sylvia D.
IT seems so often we get to the top of a lookout and the haze or clouds obscure what could be a great view. I too would zoom in on that little farm. The red roofs are attractive. Your header is beautiful.
October, did you say October...lol, I am still waiting on June...I miss it every year and I really did this season. Love your pics and that little Chippy is too cute.
Beautiful valley scenes. How peaceful.
Worth a Thousand Words
Beautiful- I love seeing the mountains- beautiful rural scenery, especially the pretty red barns!
So cool! I would love to see the bear photo.
nice photos and lovely views, kinda wishing we had squirrels here, they look so cute.
Hello Eileen. You certainly found some great scenery on your visit and came up with some stunning pictures despite a little cloud. I'd sure like to try that skyline drive but I'd need lots of places to stop and take pictures.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
What a beautiful place to visit, Eileen. You've done wonders with that squirrel.

Such a gorgeous part of the country! I love seeing the clouds and flg so close up. These are some awesome scenes.
Beautiful mountain scenes! Love the mist at the top of the mountains. Cute chipmunk.
Just gorgeous!!! Happy weekend..
I wish it seemed like October here. It feels like the middle of July all year here.
What superb scenes, Eileen! Much thanks to you such a great amount for sharing these beautiful photographs and I trust you are appreciating your fabulous pooch's conversation! :)
It really does look like fall in your photos Eileen
