As Hurricane Noel passed the New York City area today, we had high winds and a bit of rain under dark and cloudy skies. With a high of 49 degrees, Noel provided a much-needed segue from the unnecessarily balmy weather of the past couple months into more pleasant winter conditions.

Earlier today, I was set up to take a panoramic picture of the reds, yellows, and oranges that make up most of the tree-tops to the west, but when it came time to hit the trigger, the rain started pouring. Rather than sacrifice my camera to whatever the rain brings down from the skies above the New York City metro area, I capped it and walked back inside.

Soon, I hope to have the opportunity to take another panorama. The unending miles of bright, colorful trees are a sure sign the weather is becoming nicer, but about five percent of those trees are already stripped bare of their leaves. Photos of bleak, lifeless flora generally just don't evoke the same sort of warmth and exuberance, so I need to be quick about it! When the masterpiece is finally created, I'll be sure to post it here.

So far, I'm quite enjoying November.
