I know that Fall "officially" begins on Saturday, the 22nd. However, I think I saw some signs of when I rode out to the Canarsie Pier late this afternoon:
On some of the trees, the tips of the leaves are turning brown:
And, on others, entire leaves have turned:
A few leaves have already fallen to the ground.
I used to look forward to the fall: I always enjoyed riding in the cool, crisp air. Although it was a bit warm for a fall day (about 26C), the air felt autumnal because brisk breezes from the sea swept over the streets. Somehow, this day, which straddled summer and fall, made me a bit sad. For one thing, the days are growing noticeably shorter. And three seasons have passed; a year is passing.
All right...I'll make this lighter, and bring it back to cycling. Here's a sign for which I wouldn't dare not to stop!:

One way to avoid the sad side of Fall is to participate in the Third Annual Rantwick Autumn Tree Smackdown! I cordially invite you to enter this AWESOME contest...
ReplyDeleteRANTWICK--It sounds really cool. I'll keep my eyes opening for "majestic" trees!
