Ode to Autumn

The flowers have been blooming brightly in September and October, and the leaves have been turning colors and falling off the trees. How to express the joy of walking through the parks of New York City and gazing upon those brilliant colors? Ah! Create a video ode to the blooms and falling leaves.

You may recall a recent video, Autumn in Brooklyn's Garden. That gave a taste of some of the fall colors from one day at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. But The Falling Leaves, below, is a banquet! This visual feast is set to the first and third movements of Vivaldi's Four Seasons: Autumn, performed by John Harrison.

Another Silly Video by Susan Kirby. An ode to the flowers and leaves of autumn, in photographs and video. Filmed in New York City (Central Park, Prospect Park, Battery Park and Memorial Park), Sept. 1 through Oct. 24, 2016.
