Autumnal Inspiration

Autumn begins today!

Autumn is one of the things I miss most about New York. In Florida, we only have two seasons: Summer and Almost Summer. They would consist of Hot and Really Freakin' Hot. But if I could impress upon anyone, a visual feast of travel, I would urge you to head north during Autumn.

I lived in and around Atlanta, Georgia for quite a few years. It sure was pretty during Fall and wonderfully crisp and clear. It was, I suppose, a good transition state from New York to prep me for Florida. But, as beautiful as Georgia was, it still does not compare to upstate New York.

Amidst the Catskill Mountains, there are a myriad of vistas to take in the vivid landscape. Georgia had some pretty gold and red leaves, but the page does not permit the length of text to convey all the colors that paint the countryside in New York. Only weeks before, if you sat in the same place, things would have been green and lush and tranquil. But now, as Fall flaunts her fancy flora, the tapestry of tantalizing tinctures just leaves you both breathless and speechless. That all those very common and similarly green leaves could spring forth into such a vivacious symphony of brilliance is just astounding.
