Autumn Scenes





On Sunday, we took Emma for a walk in search of some fall leaves. Not an easy task when everything is evergreen (See "This is why we live in Arizona" supra). About a mile out, we found this spot by the roadside--a grassy knoll with a handful of dead leaves.





Sunday stroll in the stroller.











Autumn shots: no red leaves, no frozen grass. Just some shadowed lawns, some waving palms.




Last week, Mom came down to visit Emma-bean. What a joy that was. Never once did she complain about babysitting:) Thanks Mom.
During her stay, we packed up the car and drove the entire two blocks to the wildlife preserve. I guess a preserve is like a reserve. It's a beautiful park, equipped for fishing and birdwatching. And now that it's cooler, there's actually wildlife there.













Emma watching the duckies.













Mom and Jes blazing their way back to civilization. Off-road strolling.
A belated Halloween pic. Little Bo Peep and her sheep (lamb).
