I've been going to the park, just not writing so much about it. Nothing particularly exciting, but every day is different in its own way, and beautiful. The foliage seems to have fallen very quickly - suddenly there were big puddles of red leaves under the maple trees, and big yellow ones undere the ginkgoes. On the sunny days before they fell, the sunlight sparkling through the moving leaves made it seem as if the light were really alive. It seemed to inspire the swans and geese to practice their flying. What a joyous feeling of being one with nature! I hope everyone manages to get to the park for a little bit right now. Things are so wonderful, and change so quickly. There's a clear vies now from the top of Lookout Hill.
Now the leaves have mostly fallen, except for a few stubborn trees, determined to keep their color a few more weeks if they can.
Other Park sights: the Brooklyn Marathon, "Stumphenge," and the cones that are supposed to make biking and walking less dangerous.
Oh, and there was a different boat on the lake the other day. Speculation: it's testing the water. there's been an unhealthy-looking green scum on it lately, and it certainly needs to be checked. Wouldn't want bad water for any of our bird and frog friends.
