Growing up in California, Ruby hasn't had a chance to experience some of the seasonal things I grew up with on the East Coast like autumn leaves and snow fall. So while we were in Philly last week, I wanted to make sure she got a good dose of fall when found this amazing patch of ginkgo leaves in a nearby park. They were perfectly shaped, a magical shade of school bus yellow, and touched with just a tad of morning dew. Once she got into it, she made us shower her with leaves again and again…and it was just pure joy.

I hope you guys have an amazing weekend full of all the natural beauty that fall brings…

  1. Ahhh I miss “real” fall too! I am from Chicago, and while there are some areas with crunchy leaves here in LA, it’s just not the same. Glad Ruby got to experience it!

  2. Joy,
    Love these photos-so sweet.
    The boots you’re wearing look like the perfect chestnut riding boots I’ve been looking for, and I also have small feet like you. May I ask, what brand and where did you get them? Much appreciated!

  3. I love ginko leaves! They’re some of my favorite in the fall ever since there was a ginko tree near my house in undergrad.

  5. Thanks for sharing all of these beautiful moments with Ruby!
    They’ve all made me stop and think about the kids I’ll have someday, and the joy I can bring into their lives with just the little things.
    Thank you! 🙂
