An Autumn wonderland

This is my first ever blipfoto entry. This by far was the most special moment of the day - watching Thomas take great delight in simply kicking some leaves around. Found this poem, which summed it all up:

Autumn Leaves
by Leland B. Jacobs

1 Green leaves,
2 Yellow leaves,
3 Red leaves, and brown,
ALL Falling,
ALL Falling,
ALL Blanketing the town.
4 Oak leaves,
5 Maple leaves,
6 Apple leaves, and pear,
ALL Falling,
ALL Whispering,
ALL "Autumn's in the air!"
7 Big leaves,
8 Little leaves,
9 Pointed leaves, and round,
ALL Falling,
ALL Nestling,
ALL Carpeting the ground.


From: Jacobs, Leland B. 1993. Just Around the Corner: Poems about the Seasons. New York: Henry Holt.
