I look forward to it every year. Hosted by Robin over at Breezes at Dawn, it’s so much fun to go for a walk and take a picture or two (or more if you’re me), blog about it and share it with others who are also out there taking walks and documenting what October looks like in their part of the world.

This year Robin needed a little help so I’m going to host our annual Walktober for her. That just means that I’ll be collecting all your posts and will put publish a blog after we’re all done with links to everyone’s walk descriptions.

How about we say the official dates of our Walktober will be October 15 through the 28th? Of course things are pretty informal around here so if you need some extra time just let me know and I’ll wait for you. And of course you can go on your adventure prior to the 15th too!

Even more important, it doesn’t even have to be a WALK! You could roller skate, or go on a bike ride, or ride a horse, or take a drive with your windows rolled down. You could climb a mountain, or dive down to a corral reef. Show us your city, or your countryside, or a favorite river or lake. Explore your own yard or travel to another country, it’s all fodder for a Walktober post.
Just get out there and show us your world.

Go on your adventure, write about it and include photos if you want to, and then link back to my blog. I’ll post an official kickoff on the 15th of October and you can link to that. But if you accidently link to something else let me know and I’ll go collect it!

We can’t wait to see what you choose to do! Happy Walktober!

Well, you know every time you walk somewhere, even somewhere familiar, it’s different.

Penny is debating whether she wants to grace us with a walk this year. She says she’s just a puppy and hardly ever gets to go anywhere interesting. (Which is not true.) She’s in her teenage years right now and very stubborn. We’ll see.

Count me in, Dawn — and thanks for hosting this year! I’ve been wondering if we were going to have a Walktober (and planning where I want to go). I think the Monk is doing some planning of his own (but we will see — he can be stubborn too!)

I love Walktober and it’s the least I could do given how much fun Robin has given me by inventing the idea! Well, I THINK she invented the idea….
