Spending the afternoon in Central Park

This weekend we spent some time strolling among the leaves and trees of Central Park.  It was beautiful and there was something refreshing about the tall trees shading us on our way.  I was very happy this day.  New York is not my favorite place on the earth but moments like these in places like these make it all better, at least for a moment.

Here's the loot.  We have little acorns in our park but these are rather mature and big ones.  I was in heaven picking up all that I could see.  I had to let so many go!  Now I have tons of leaves, acorns, and pine cones that I need to do something with.  I have some ideas so, lets see how they work out.  I love Autumn!
