Last weekend: Autumn in New York

Some cities call out to you even more during a particular season. I always seem to crave New York City at the height of autumn. The way the fiery foliage makes Central Park come alive, the way the autumn light hits brownstones and staircases, the way pumpkins and spooky Halloween decorations adorn the front of homes on gorgeous tree-lined residential lanes. 

Last weekend, I had the perfect excuse to spend a day in New York: a Sunday wedding on Long Island. That left Saturday free for a long stroll in Brooklyn and part of Manhattan, and time to catch up with friends I hadn't seen in a very long time.

Here are the perspectives and moods that inspired me that day. 

If you know me a little, you know I adore the Brooklyn Bridge, so naturally it was the subject of quite a lot of photographs! ​

And of course, our short visit to Long Island gave us a last little boost of ocean air, to hopefully carry us through the harsh winter.

From my heart to yours.
