The sunshine here in the NW has been unstoppable. The mornings are chilly but the afternoons are warm and delightful. The leaves are starting to change colors and make their way to the ground.
With our much larger property and plethora of trees, we are starting to realize there is going to be a lot of raking in our near future! In fact, I just looked on Craigslist for a leaf blower!
But today I grabbed a rake and treated the girls to a roll down the hill through a leaf pile!
Charlotte is fascinated by the crunchiness. She could've walked through that pile and picked up handfuls of dry leaves all day.
Big sister demonstrating the fine art of rolling down the hill ... and then popping up for a pose-ready photo op.
Charlotte making her way back up the hill through the leaf pile!
As much fun as the brown, crunchy pile of leaves proved to be, I
couldn't wait to turn my attention (and camera) back toward the trees
where the leaves are vibrant and the sky which is blue and clear.
This profile. This thoughtful expression. I cherish it.
This is Natalie. Everything about it. Her out-stretched ballerina arms. Her gleeful, slightly mischievous expression.
And this is me ... trying out the macro setting on my camera from afar. And I kinda like it.
While I was taking pictures of the tree, Charlotte found a rock inside that pink bucket and had to bring it to me, saying, "rock-Y." {How cute are her little fingers around that rock?}
And while I was busy taking a picture of Charlotte's rock, Natalie started climbing the tree ...
The rock was quickly abandoned. I love how Charlotte is reaching up. Wanting to do whatever her big sister is doing.
