Taking an autumn stroll, in the stroller edition
The trees were aflame with color, turning from various shades of green to deeper shades of orange, red and yellow. It was a kaleidoscope of colors, a festival of colors, a season to behold nature's palette.
Autumn days were in full force in beautiful, merry New York. Its gorgeous trees and their leaves at the peak of their splendor.
The breeze moved through the trees as they blowed and swayed, some branches becoming bare as they quivered in the wind.
Leaves of red and gold gently fluttered to the ground, each falling leaf bringing New York closer and closer to the bustling winter season. Squirrels foraged and chipmunks hid their nuts as they prepared to hibernate. The days grew shorter and the nights grow longer as the sound and sight of geese migrating south became a common sight to see in the sky.
It was time to put away the tank tops and shorts and pull out the jumpers and padded jeans, to turn in flip-flops and sandals for thick wooly socks and boots.
But most importantly, as the crunch of decaying leaves were underboot and stroller wheel, it was time to appreciate the beauty of the most colorful season, to take in the sweet smell of the cool, fall air.
Jonny could see his breath as he pushed the stroller carrying his sweet little boy who was just so fascinated with how the leaves changed right before his eyes. Orlando walked beside him, carrying their drinks for him. Jonny absolutely despised Pumpkin Spice, but as soon as fall rolled by he just couldn't help himself with the chai tea latte. Orlando however, had no such qualms against the popular drink and happily sipped at it as he chatted away about things that didn't really matter.
Apparently there was going to be a reboot of some show from their teenage years and he was so hyped for it. But as he spoke so passionately on how he hoped the producers of this redux production would get the feeling of the original right, he just was reminded how much he loved this man and their little.
Sometimes, one just had to get lost in their thoughts while taking an autumn stroll.
