This Sunday I took Michelle hiking at Clemmons Educational State Forest south of Raleigh. They recently added a new spur to the Forest Demo trail, making it 5.2 miles total. The new section has some nice features such as stream crossings and inclines. It's autumn here now, so there were plenty of chances for nice photos. I'm pleased with how they turned out, since I'm still learning how to use a camera, something I've never done much before. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Aww, she's so sweet. =) I absolutely love Werkstra!

Thank you so much. When I was looking at Shinkis she seemed to jump off the screen, and I've been quite taken with her since she arrived. I'm looking forward to doing more photo shoots as the seasons change.

Welcome Pygar!
Werkstra is probably one of the best choices as a 1st Shinki! (she's one of my Munchkins)
im glad our Shinki Saturdays idea has got to some non Shinki owners!
great pics and I hope to see more or even contributions to our Shinki saturday post!

Hi, all! These were taken earlier today around my living area. The branch Michelle is reclining on fell off a sweet gum tree, an provided a nice spot for photos. I hope you enjoy them.

I really like this one.
