Flora, in Roman mythology, was the goddess of flowering plants.
Central Park, on her behalf, has exploded in Technicolor.
. 
Standing on an Olmstead bridge 
(who along with Calvert Vaux, designed the park), I watch in awe while she sows her wild oats.
Trees are plush with pinks and purples, yellows and reds surrounded by Irish green.
Birds sit sentry as squirrels scoot past beckoning like furry hosts...hi there, may I take your coat? 
How nice of you to visit.
Please, come see the view.
.
I will enjoy this season before nature strips her closets clean, like all women do who have the room.
The trees bare, the grass a barren brown, while I, awaiting spring, shiver silently in her stead.

I love seeing the mountains blanketed in color. Our trees are already past their prime. Enjoy the show while it lasts.

You said it, because any minute it will change. I’m still wearing shorts when I run, in November. WOW

Beautiful post! I just did one on Nature’s Beauty too – hard to imagine Central Park in the Fall.

It’s been a stunning fall here too. Unseasonably warm too. I’m good with all that.

I just commented to someone about this unusual warm weather we are having. Beautiful pictures of the park Susannah. I’m glad Foster Kitty is no where near those squirrels! ~Elle

I was just walking the dog next door and she too has a squirrel fetish. I said to her, hey…don’t you want any friends?

Always loved that scene where Rhett was lying on the couch and Scarlett hurls a vase at the fireplace, and Gable pops up from the sofa whistling and asking, “Whoa, has the war started?” Classic. 😀

I forgot that. I loved that movie. I remember her stealing her sister’s beau in the carriage when she says, can I put my hand in your pocket? She was great.
