Autumn in New York

© 2012 hula~la

I wish that I could bottle up this view from yesterday...my only full day off in a very long time.  And the temperature was in the 60's...just right! This is the stuff that rendezvous are made of; picturesque and captivating.  Leaf peepers will surely enjoy the beauty of the season this year.  At full peak, the colors of the many different species of trees that are home in the northeast will provide inspiration for all types of art projects...not just photography.  For I have chosen the colors here to use on my next mini altered book/scrapbook.  With papers and paints and even a honey gold colored yarn, this little book will be transformed into a journal worthy of an Autumn Adventure in New York.

Perhaps that Autumn Adventure can be taken by train, or maybe by boat on the Hudson River! If you are in CT, there is the Essex Steam Train and Riverboat Cruise that is near and dear to my heart.  For 25 years ago this beautiful month, we took over the newly renovated parlor car on the train and the top deck of the riverboat for our family and friends who came to town for our wedding 'neath the cover of October skies.  A most memorable time for all. Oh to live in the Northeast, where the seasons offer a unique tale from within, where the natural beauty is abundantly clear....  Get out there and enjoy the beauty of your season...and LIVE IT UP!  TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE!!!
