Fall – with a chance of showers

It is about that time of year when the air starts to change from the stickiness of summer to the first bite of fall. The leaves start to turn colors and flutter down to make a carpet of golden flakes. It's the best time of year to go walking, because you hear that reassuring crunch, crunch, crunch every time you take a step. Making piles out of the leaves is even more fun! To me this picture epitomizes everything that I love about fall.

This is one of my all time favorite pictures from my first year at Grinnell.
