Saturday, October 27, 2012. My own fall color tour through Central Park, along the Reservoir. I could see them in the distance, the brilliant red, the golden yellow, orange, the soft salmon and the green not willing to go quite yet. It was just a patch, just a spot, that wanted to focus the attention of anyone passing by, only for a second - just long enough to marvel at the perfect melding of hues. It will now be gone in the rush of the hurricane, but I beheld it just that once.
