Winter Leaves

Some of the leaves are beginning to get soft and slippery underfoot now after the onset of the Winter dew in the mornings, some are still crunchy though with having such a dry Autumn with still no rain in sight, even though there is some predicted, non eventuates, this is the Park at the top of my street where i my walk with  Milo,  extra shot is a shot of him retrieving his newly found stick, which he prefers than a ball to catch, the big rte. stick the better, what is it with that?
