"It smells like leaves!"

I took Gracie to Mingo Creek park today, hoping to get some fall images of her. She didn't want anything to do with the camera...or me! She ran off ahead of me at one point, then ran back yelling "mommy! mommy! It smells like leaves!!" At that point it didn't matter to me what pictures I captured from the day. She came home with muddy shoes and jeans, sticks in her hair, and dirt under her nails. Now that's a good day :).

I love the light on this one, but I chopped off her hands. :(
