For the last day of their holiday, the Preece family decided to do the short, but sharp, walk from La Gouille up to Lac Bleu. (Unfortunately mum, Jo, had some prep work to do for school next week, and Jude had some cakes to bake, so they left the rest of us to it… )
Needing a little more exercise, Alex and I took the path down to Les Haudères and along the river back to the chalet, while father, David, drove the younger children home.
Although I’ve posted pictures of this walk before, it never ceases to amaze me how you can always see something different. For example, I have to give credit to Alex for spotting the rainbow waterfall (pic 20). There are also some Halloween images for you all to enjoy – see if you can spot the black cat !

Yes, it’s an amazing time of year, though I don’t think the camera (or my ability to use it) do it justice!

Yes it was. The forecasts are usually very accurate in Switzerland. This week we have blue skies until Wednesday, when some clouds may appear late afternoon. Only thing is – I’m now over in the UK for a week visiting my family and friends. I have my camera, so I may find something to post when I get back. 🙂

So far, so good… My daughter and I did a short walk yesterday, in the Peak District, so I have at least one post to do. 🙂 We were hopeless in the Halloween themed quiz at the local pub though. 😦

What a really fun day, Mike. Your hike and mountains, most impressive, lots of happy faces and joy. I liked the Halloween touches too, espec. the black cat.

It’s a route I’ve done (and blogged about) quite a few times, but our guests (who are old friends of Jude’s) really enjoyed it – especially young Oliver. I nearly didn’t see the cat – it was as if it had been placed there as part of the display. 🙂

I would have loved to have joined you on this walk! The autumn colours in the sunshine are out of this world! What a beautiful place.

Yes, as you said, the contrast between the blue sky, the white snow on the mountains and the autumn colours really makes it a great place to take photos – and to live of course. 🙂
