Happy Halloween! It's autumn in New York. I'm back with another month and one photo from each day in that month. As I've mentioned before, this has been my retirement hobby, get out of the apartment each day and take a photo of something interesting.
Well I like to say it with flowers so I'll kick off with an autumn crocus and some saffron trivia.

That is the Saffron Crocus above and I was suprised to learn that it occurs nowhere in nature. This spice flower that was first cultivated in Greece around 3,500 years ago is a triploid or "self-incompatible" and incapable of independent sexual reproduction.
Well so much for trivia. Below are thirty-one photos from a New York month that started out green.
