Autumn leaves

After lunch today, I sat outside on the stairs under the trees, avoiding going back into the office for as long as possible. The air was so fresh, but it's hard to describe the smell......it was the leaves, I think......kind of sweet, yet fresh and almost spicy. When the breeze stirred the tree branches, the leaves would flutter down like snowflakes, spinning and tumbling down onto the stairs, the grass, and me. When the wind picked up, the leaves skittered across the concrete making such a unique sound. And there's nothing quite like the crunch of leaves under your feet when you walk. Sighhhhh......I love this time of year...... :)
