New York: Central Park (1st and 4th); Easthampton (2nd); Gramercy Park (3rd)
Inspiration:** A cooling off of summer heat; the start of new school days; the search for a new Halloween costume; picking the perfect pumpkins; gathering for Thanksgiving; a golden-red opening act for the grays and whites of Winter.
** A post best done in color, but no such luck given my penchant for Black and White.

I would love to run around and lost in the second one. Preferably wearing a light gauzy cotton long dress with thousands of small tiny ruffles and lace inserts oh - and hopefully the sun would be beating down on me!
Great photos AS ALWAYS

Thanks Muse! I love your vision about the second photo.

Oh, beautiful shots! I love what 'muse' said: now I can see that, too! Actually what I'd love to do is take your shot, then one from Roz's blog, and put her in that shot, but teeny tiny - like Alice in Wonderland.
I know it's probably best seen in colour, but that's the power of these photos, that they say autumn, even in black & white. Just realised, I've missed summer..
