Autumn colors





Autumn seems to have descended upon us suddenly, much earlier than in previous years. Yesterday, the temperature dropped about 10 degrees and all at once everybody donned their new fall clothes, swathed in woolens whereas the day before they had been sauntering around town in sandals. Best of all, the falling temperature brought vivid shades of red and yellow to the Japanese garden at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, which hardly anyone seems to know but me. I was left alone, along with the birds, to appreciate this colorful tableau this morning.
