It's autumn and the leaves are turning colors and falling from the branches.  There are lots of pretty leaves and I remember when I was a young child I would pick up the colorful leaves of autumn.  Of course, they didn't last very long or were eventually thrown out at my mother's insistence.

And when I walked to the train station to go home, I know noticed bright lights - they were filming I don't know what.

We were in Central Park to go for a ride in the row boats.  It was a humid day - surprisingly.  The weather has been really pleasant - not humid.

The Park was full of people today - also surprised.  I thought people would have left for the long weekend.  The lake was especially crowded.  There were many inexperienced rowers in the lake getting in our way or seconds from ramming into us.  Luckily, Thomas is very experienced and out maneuvered these wanna-be rowers.

The lake was also very green.  Some of it was algae, and there was something else in the water.  Little leafy things.  We didn't know what they were but it almost covered the lake.  I thought they were kind of pretty until we rowed into a part of the lake that had a heavy layer of these teeny leafy things.  It made the lake look kind of swampy.
