Autumn leaves tumble down,
Autumn leaves crumble down,
Autumn leaves bumble down,
Flaking and shaking,
Tumbledown leaves.
Autumn leaves crumble down,
Autumn leaves bumble down,
Flaking and shaking,
Tumbledown leaves.

Dear Ruth, Your daughter is becoming quite expert with her new camera. Beautiful post that perfectly reflects the season. x
All the leaves are gone here. They were gorgeous for awhile, though! The tamaracks (evergreens that don't stay green) have turned yellow. Enjoy your leaves while they turn!
