Bags of Leaves

I was walking along East 10th Street this morning, at the top of Tompkins Square Park, when I saw this large collection of bags of leaves:

Bags of leaves.

I think the Parks Department workers who rake these leaves should rake them into a huge pile, instead of putting them into these bags. Nothing says Fall like East Villagers jumping into a huge pile of leaves!

Discarded Bike Frame

Yellow leaves are everywhere in the East Village — and why not? It's November!

This dismantled bike frame was discarded against a graffitied-on mailbox on Second Avenue and East 13th Street, that itself was surrounded by yellow leaves:

Nothing says Autumn in the East Village like yellow leaves, and Doris Day, singing "Autumn Leaves" — it's almost as if she's singing about her lost bicycle:

Bag O'Leaves

I was walking up Avenue A this morning, when I saw this garbage bag full of leaves, cut from the bottom to the middle, then pulled apart after that:

Cut, then pulled apart.

It's strange to think that someone would cut open the bag, then not dump out its contents! Maybe they were looking for something else? Maple leaves?
