Hey there, Readers!
Soooo I have more photos from Brooklyn Botanic Garden to share with y'all. xD heh heh I maaaay have gone back the other week and taken (even) more photos of the gorgeous autumn-ness of the Garden now that the trees are more fully fledged in their glorious fall revelry. Man, it was gorgeous, y'all. <3 The trees were dripping gold onto the bronzed ground, and squirrels were busy preparing for winter as they jumped from flaming red trees to the purple shadows of the brittle grassy ground. So lovely. It truly is as Albert Camus said:
[Image Description: A photo of a lovely autumn scene with several trees with colorful leaves of different colors ablaze on their branches. There are leaves aplenty on the mulch-covered path, as well, that is marked by low wooden rails that are smooth and rounded. There is white, bold text superimposed over the image at the bottom that reads "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. Albert Camus."]
When I went in October, it was so lovely, but it wasn't quite yet the fall I had envisioned for a visit and many (many) photos, so I decided to go back one day this month and hopefully get more autumn photos that really inspire you, take your breath away in that simple reveling at the splendor of the color bouquet that autumn brings us. And ohhh, how it was worth that second trip (AND all the photo editing afterward! xD)! It was simply splendid. <3
It was a beautiful day; there were gorgeous blankets of color draped all over the park trees, and it was super windy, which I always adore. It makes me feel playful and excited when the wind's energy gets up like that. :D It hadn't called for rain that day but for 10%, so I was surprised when it became quickly stormy toward the end. But it was very pleasant because I was under that tall canopy of trees you see above, and I got to chill with a squirrel that side-eyed the crap out of me as I kept snapping its photo from below while it was just trying to stay dry and warm. xD What a cutie.
Here are some of the photos from that day, but you can view the entire collection (of 126 photos-- I know, I know-- I have issues xD) here on my Behance website if you're interested in seeing more. :] Please enjoy these melodious images from that lovely, breezy day! :D

So that's the collection this time, folks! :D Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. And I hope you're enjoying the remnants of fall before next month brings winter! (Though I know some of y'all are really catching that polar vortex and getting a taste of winter early.) I can't wait to go back to BBG in a month or two and see what winter has brought us. :]
Love you bunches!
Until next time, fair Readers!
