This was another photo I took during a photo walk in Vance Woods. I was amazed that at the beginning of December there were still these roses blooming along with the orange and red Autumn leaves. Many leaves had already fallen so when I walked I loved the crunching, crackling sound they made. All of my senses were in tune to the world around me. I could see the beautiful bold colors of the leaves, hear the leaves crackling under foot while I walked, the birds chirping, animals scurrying in the woods, squirrels scampering and eating, smell acorns, leaves, acrid smoke smell of people burning leaves, see the gorgeous blue sky with only a few puffy white clouds, sun shining bright. The Earth. My foot falls were solid and I felt so connected to the Earth, connected to All.
