OMG Leaves! [More:]My daughter was a total crank when she got off the bus from school. Crying fits, tantrums, not listening--the typical 4 year old stuff.

I took her outside and I grabbed the leaf blower to catch up on some yard work while I could and let her explore on her own and cool down a bit. When she finally got curious about what I was doing, I introduced her to the joys of the leaf pile. She loved crunching them and falling into them and at one point said, "Daddy, cover Alice please." How could I resist? I buried her except for her face and watched her discovering the sensory pleasure of being in a pile of leaves.

I'm the happiest I've been in weeks.
That picture is ASTOUNDINGLY beautiful. Prepare for Favorites happening to you.

Beautiful photo plinth! I had a niece that would have loved the leaves like this. Your love for your daughter comes through astoundingly loud in not only how you took this, but the way you got her to the photo op.

I grew up with huge piles of sycamore leaves in the fall, and with Peanuts and all the great fall episodes with Charlie brown, but none of them touch this for the ultimate fall photo. Wonderful! Thanks for the great story.

Yeah, a definite favourite. What a great photo, the colours are awesome.

What stunning pictures. I love how you were able to capture both leaves that were both still green and shades of brown. Alice has the most gorgeous blue eyes. My eldest daughter, Sophia, will be 5 in December so you have my sympathies with the awful pre-schooler mood thing :)
