Fall in Holland...

It does seem a bit silly to be posting fall pics the day after spring starts, but all those posts about Nepal pushed my blog two seasons behind instead of just the usual one.

Regardless, these first two were taken in our neighborhood during a dog walk...

...and here’s that goofy dog eating a stick in our backyard.

These two were taken at the Japanese Garden at Clingendael Park in The Hague. Due to the lack of rain—the Netherlands is having a drought, the first since we moved here in late 2005—the colors were rather muted this year.
