The Leaves Are Falling - Chicago Area Photographer

Went out to capture a little bit of autumn, this is my favorite time of year. My oldest M went out with me and helped me find some interesting shots. We enjoyed listening to the leaves rustle in the wind and crunching underneath our feet.





The first two shots are just a few feet away from each other.
