Good bye Summer, Hello Autumn.

At 3:44 pm today, summer left us for another hemisphere.

"An equinox is the moment in time (not a whole day) when the centre of the Sun can be observed to be directly above the Earth's equator, occurring around March 20 and September 22 each year." Wiki

Tribeca Roof Decks

Summer brings us all out of doors and onto the patio or deck. Here's a Flickr slide show of a bird's eye view of some roof decks in the wealthy Tribeca neighborhood in NYC, to give you a few ideas for your pied-a-terre. Heh.

We grabbed this photo from a blog we read. It was sent in by an unnamed reader. This is the reader's "office," because this is where he works. Good assignment! We considered, when pondering this irresistible image, how "at home" one feels in such a gorgeous, vastness, how this sense of place opens one up, while most of our environments close us down. While we love the shelter of home and buildings, we need to occasionally reconnect with the sheer open, beauty of the majestic natural world, which is also our place.

We hope your summer is going beautifully.
