Fall Is In The Air

Fall is my favorite time of year. Unfortunately, Hurricane Sandy has put a damper on the autumnal holiday spirit around here, but the turning leaves and crisp autumn air have managed to peek through undeterred!

As a born-and-bred Seattleite, where the weather maintains a steady 40 degrees with a chance of showers virtually all year long, the idea of four distinct seasons was largely a mystery until I moved to New York. All of a sudden, white Christmases were a reality, not just a childhood fantasy dreamed up from too many repeat viewings of It's A Wonderful Life. A good, sturdy pair of rain/snow boots that could withstand the elements were an absolute must. Those cozy knits and sweaters weren't just a fashion statement, but actually practical too! There's something about this time of year that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside; despite the chill temperatures.

In honor of the official start of the holiday season (according to the Starbucks barometer of the red cups debut!), I captured a few photos of the beautiful Fall season here in New York on my walk to work this morning. Take that Sandy!
