Most of you might know that I walk my 2 miles to work almost every morning from the Upper East Side to the Upper West Side cutting through Central Park on my way to work. It's even more of a treat if I can walk home from work (unless it's pouring raining or just too damned hot!).

Anyways, on my way to work last week, I noticed Bethesda Fountain was not running anymore. Central Park starts closing all their fountains down for the winter season. I assume it's so the water doesn't freeze in the fountains and pipes. Either way, it's a time of season I love and miss. Fall is here and they are preparing for Winter snow!

The colder it gets in Central Park, the less people and tourists are around. Now that's my favorite time to walk through and get it all to myself (maybe with a few hundred others instead of thousands).
Another sign of Fall is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. As I write this blog, that day is tomorrow. And as tradition goes, the day before the parade, the Upper West Side of Manhattan is full of families walking by the balloons filling up with air to float the next day.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I hope everyone has a great time with family and friends.
