"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."

(-Albert Camus)

Oberlin College campus was beautiful again today, with folks basking in the sunlight on cooling grasses. It was a good day for a picnic.

Flowers are still evident in hanging baskets, but trees are starting to show signs of Fall encroaching: here in Ohio, there are red berries and leaves showing bits of rusts and yellows.

In the wee hours of the morning, in my hotel, we were awakened by a fire alarm that sent all of us outside as we were forced to evacuate the building, and the night air here in Oberlin was brisk indeed…

Some students were wearing sweaters, and scarves, signaling the onset of brisk days ahead.

I spent part of my day inside, thoroughly enjoying the beautiful art at the Allen Museum on Oberlin’s campus, where the credo is:

“The cause of art is the cause of the people.”
