More leaves

This is from a walk we took round the corner from our home just after the last leaf pictures! We'd been studying the different trees we found in the woods across from our home. Here, round the corner in the other direction there were so many other kinds of trees. The leaves had started falling faster, which is always fun to be in the middle of - playing in leaves is just fun! We love the colours and shapes of them too though.

Two little boys who LOVE to climb on rocks. :o)





Finding some good leaves.



Having fun swishing through them.



We all really loved this tree - the satisfying shape of it, and how it was only going yellow right on top.







Samuel wanted to be up in a tree,



just like his older siblings.





Aren't all the colours wonderful?!







I caught them still just for a moment!







Samuel watching his siblings play.



The girls had suddenly turned into horses, and Peter into a dog! He was playing catch with a stick - I had to throw it, and he used his mouth to fetch it just as a dog would!!



Peter likes to go up to a monument at the bottom of Wild Park near our home. What he really likes there are these two logs that have animals carved into the bark. They're fun to sit on too. It's a must for him to spend a bit of time there though.









Last but not least, these are some leaves we surrounded ourselves with at Thanksgiving. The larger ones hanging from the wreath were ones that the children had cut out of autumn coloured wool felt and then sewn the veins into - a reminder of the particular leaves (and trees) they had been recognising recording. The multicoloured strings of leaves are paper leaves full of the things we are each thankful for, as a reminder to us at Thanksgiving of all of our blessings. It was beautiful to have our special meal being showered (in a way) by more beautiful leaves.
