This Monday , The 22nd of September was the First day in Fall this year. The first day of fall is usually calculated to the Autumnal Equinox and it is different than the "Fall Season". Traditionally, the period between Memorial Day and the Labor day is the Summer and it is that time of the year where there is frenzied outdoor activity up here in the North (of the United States!).
If you have been following this blog long enough, you might remember that I moved to Boston, MA from Florida right on the first day of Summer, the day after Memorial. And boy, it was good to be in a Summer when the mercury barely touches the 80's. I had to do away with a sarcastic laugh when people around were complaining about the weather being so hot on days when the barometer read 90.
The Summer passed out quickly, but not before I had my share of touring around. Even before I could settle in the new place, I started with the typical desi type tours. First was the NYC trip on the Independence day Weekend only to come back in awe of the _fast_ moving life there and get caught in the T Station with no cabbies in sight. Not to mention the tour of the Old city of Boston, and taking a holy dip at the Holy Niagara falls. At the end, I did manage to add a few variations to this.
A day at Martha's Vineyard was a feast to my camera! Clear Skies, Deep Blue sea, Green fields and the Colored Cliffs! It was a day well spent around the Labor day. Then there was the day when we went Apple Picking! Boy, There was one too many around! Apples have long been the "elite" fruit for a long time back home and it was a cheap pleasure to pluck apples and eat it right there!
There was only one disappointment though! The lack of beaches, Quality beaches nearby. Well, anyone from Florida who is a beach bum is bound to say that, isn't it? I did manage to go to a few - the ones at Lynn, Martha's Vineyard and finally to Hampton Beach, New Hampshire.
There is still a few weeks of running around left before Winter takes, puts on its shackles making the world outside virtually unreachable. The days ahead are going to be interesting. New England has traditionally been the heaven for fall foliage and I hope to get a few great shots this time around.
The hustle and bustle of the summer might have passed. But a deep satisfying feeling remains intact.
I leave you with a couple of my best shots to come. There are loads of other pictures dumped on the computer waiting for post processing. Watch out for more of that in this space as the winter arrives!
