falling leaves

While in Colorado over the weekend, Caitlin enjoyed some time playing in the fallen leaves.



Very cold weather early in the season and some hard frosts prevented the leaves from changing colors. So all of the leaves on the trees were just different shades of brown (greenish-brown, yellowish-brown, reddish-brown) and dead. A nice breeze on Sunday brought many of the leaves spinning to the ground.

Looks so fun, even if everything is brown. Yea, Colorado!
