For Sophie's 1st birthday, Andy gave her a book called "Autumn Walk" by Ann Burg. It quickly became one of my favorites. It always makes me think of days like today...and days like this are the reason why I feel fall is the best season of the year.
Here's an excerpt from my favorite part of the book, and it perfectly describes our afternoon:
Whirling and twirling, the leaves are calling. "Come play with us, come play!" Laughing like clowns, spinning around - autumn is here, let's play! Fistful of red, armsful of gold - throw them up high and jump! Bunches of scrunches and crunches of color land in a crinkly lump!
...Crackle, rustle, crinkle, and crunch through the cozy, darkening day. Crackle, rustle, crinkle, and crunch. Autumn is here! HOORAY!

These are such cute pictures!!! I love the one of Lucy in all of the leaves! Looks like the perfect fall day.
'Tis the season! I love the pictures!
Outstanding onomatoppeia and the pictures aren't too shabby either. This is no doubt the finest season of the year.
Love the pictures!! I miss fall so much!
