My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Earlier this week I went to New York City to capture Autumn in Central Park. And think because of the bipolar weather we've been experiencing here in the Northeast, this hasn't been (so far, anyway) an Autumn with TONS of color.
However two days before I went, we did get a cold snap. So, I was hoping to get some colorful shots of what New York City trees are wearing this Autumn. And I have to say, the fashion show was quite beautiful. And the weather couldn't have been more glorious. It was in the low 50's, and the sun was shinning brightly. To me, it felt heavenly!
I was in the city for almost nine hours and spent the better part of that time walking through Central Park. I started at the 59th Street entrance, and ended up traveling as far as West 80th Street. I know that sounds like a long walk, but when you're inside the park looking around at all the beautiful foliage, it didn't seem like a long walk at all. Besides, whenever I'm in New York City, all I ever want to do is walk.

Allow me to start by saying that I couldn't help myself, but this post is heavy with photos. I had so much fun that day, I wanted to share it all with you.
So, please enjoy an Autumn walk through New York's Central Park...

A Central Park classic--a horse and buggy ride...
What's really amazing about Central Park is that there are areas (such as the ones below) that make you think you're out in the woods in the country, far, far away from a city...
I know I've shared photos of this NYC landmark before, but it's my favorite in Central Park. And it's also a place that looks exceptionally beautiful in Autumn because of the trees that surround it. As I've said before, this place feels very sacred to me.
This next image makes you think you're some place in Vermont, doesn't it?...
Please don't let this next photograph scare you into thinking that this man is dead. He's not. He's just taking a nap and I sneakingly captured it without him knowing it. Aren't I evil?...
These next several pictures are as I walked closer to Bow Bridge on the Upper West Side of Central Park. I LOVE this building!
It's called, The Eldorado..
As I was walking across the bridge, I spotted a bride and groom having their wedding pictures taken...
The gentleman in the middle was the minister who performed the ceremony. As I walked past them, I could hear him talking about marriage...
I found this adorable little squirrel eating something. I tried to get him/her to turn around, but was ignored. I snapped the picture anyway...
Hope you enjoyed Autumn in New York City's Central Park...
