Happy Autumn!


Mornin'!  Happy Autumn!  It's 50° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's up and shining on the island.  Breezes have simmered down out of the N-NW at 9-11mph.  Fall is expressing its incredibly lovely self this morning down the Shore.  There is something very special and beautiful about Autumn... in the paraphrased words of Albert Camus "it's when every leaf is a flower" (thanks Jim).  Speaking of which, the leaves have just begun turning and doing their spectacular metamorphosis for the start to this lovely season. The autumn skies and in particular "sunrises and sunsets" are back and breathtaking as always.  Expect a perfect Fall day today as Ms Sun shines in a vivid blue sky, temps reach 70° and NW winds wift (waft) across the island at 10-20mph.  Tonight... clear sky, low of 57°, W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, 77° and W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  I love that Autumn is here again.  90 days until the Winter Solstice!  I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the serious beach erosion happening now in North Wildwood due to Hurricane Teddy way off the Coast.  Mother Nature is once again having her way with us.

Wow, red hydrangea?!! Has it been red before? That's crazy! Like the rest of the world!

@Henry, Hi! Yes... it's red in the Autumn although this shot is from 2017. It's currently not at the vibrant stage yet but it's coming!
