A few trees in this area--such as the ones I saw on the Canarsie Pier last week--have begun to change color. A few leaves seem to have fallen, but most of the trees are still green and full.
However, I noticed another kind of "fall" along the World's Fair Marina promenade as I cycled to work today:
A lot of branches have fallen--or, more precisely, were ripped and broken from their trunks--during the recent storms. I saw some of the arboreal debris scattered across the path last week; now, it seems, they are being gathered. In addition to what fell. other limbs have been cut from the trees because they were weak or ready to come off.
Soon these trees will be yellow, orange and red, then brown. Then they'll be bare. But one part of my commute will still be green:

Why do you think I call her Vera? Well, to tell you the truth, the eponymous Pink Floyd song played while I was cleaning her up just after I first got her. But, still, you have to admit it's an appropriate name--unless, of course, I decide to paint her.
