Nature's Blanket

Yesterday, I wrote about how Christmas, and holiday cheer seem to be overtaking fall.  They really do, especially in this city.  I don't have a huge problem with it, but I just love fall.  It may be my favourite season.

The best part is the leaves.  The browns, the reds, the yellows and the oranges that decorate the ground fill me with so much joy.  There is something so comforting and lovely about those tones, and the way that they create a natural blanket over the earth.  Part of me wants to put dried flowers in my hair and go running through a forest, celebrating.  I'm not actually going to do that, so here are some distinctly fall-themed photographs that I took during that same jaunt through Bryant Park on Thursday.  

We'll start out with the requisite shot of my own feet.

Sneakers

When she came to visit, my friend Bianca was wearing these excellent sneakers.  I am not a big sneaker person, and by that, I mean that if you catch me wearing sneakers anywhere other than the gym, you have seen a rare sight.  However, I love them on other people, and she has that flair to pull off ones with lots of bright colours, like these.  We were on one of the balconies at South Street Seaport, she was sitting on a chair and I was sitting on the ground, and I couldn't help but take this shot.
