Autumnal Walk in the Woods

We've been going to Rocky River with Anna, Jonas, and Lavinia since before Bastian could walk, but we hadn't been since early summer. It seemed necessary that we should take a stroll one fine day after they got out of school. It was good.
The children were behind this sign, halfway up the hill just before I took this photo. Anna and I had gotten distracted looking for bullfrogs while they ran ahead. Nice.The leaves have begun to change in small patches and at the edges.




The top of the cliff is a fantastic spot for watching the sun set.
Juniper berries.
