walk in cleaveland farm state forest
Skippy and I went for a long walk today in Cleaveland Farm in Rowley MA. A cool bright day. The leaves are beautiful. I have read that this year there is a bumper crop of acorns. It is also a great year for oak leaf colors. I don't remember oaks with so many different colors. Reds, oranges, yellows and browns. Unfortunately it also seems to be a bumper year for ticks. (I think for the same reason as the acorns - it was a mild winter and lots of rainfall this summer.) We have been doing lots of "tick-checks" of Skip, who kind-of enjoys this extra attention, I think. We found at least 5 or 6 little ones.

I love walks in the fall...don't you just love the smell of the leaves? Too bad that doesn't come across in the photos. I've also noticed that oak trees here in Indiana are more colorful this year, or more colorful than I remember.

You are really right about the smell. And its hard to describe the smell of fall leaves. Also the sounds are so nice and don't come across: leaves crunching and rustling and the geese honking.
