Fall Photo Shoot

I have been so busy this week taking photos for other people that I almost missed my chance to get a photo shoot with Grant in before the snow starts flying this week! It has been a perfect Idaho Autumn season, one that almost never happens. Fall in Idaho is usually destroyed by one week of bitter cold temperatures that change the leaves from colorful to crispy brown over night, accompanied by a horrible wind storm that blows all the leaves off the trees. We essentially go from summer to winter in what seems like a week. But not this year. I consider it an absolute tender mercy and a gift from above. This Autumn has been spectacular. There is a chill in the air, but daytime temperatures have been warm and we have been able to enjoy afternoon walks and picnics into the first week of November. It has been great for my soul and is lessening the isolation I feel in the cold and flu season! Grant and I took our last warm day and headed to a park by our house. He had a blast playing in the leaves and I loved capturing his innocent joy. Please indulge me....I couldn't pick a favorite picture.
