scottish skies

I have to confess that I haven't been around for the change of seasons for quite a while. In fact, for the past 3 years I have spent most of my time following the weather. I certainly feel lucky to have such good fortune. But I must admit, it's been nice to be around enough to notice the subtle changes.

Being home for the transition from warmth, to crisp, to cool has been incredibly gratifying. The thing I love of about the weather here on the east coast is how it eases you into the harshness of the winter.

In the past few weeks during my new commute to work, quite often I have exclaimed "my goodness...this reminds me of Scotland!"

I traveled accross the pond two years ago to shoot a special castle edition of Trading Spaces. It was my first trip to Europe and beyond memorable. (I talk more about it here) We were there during the heart of fall and most days were bright and cheery with a clean sky.

What I have recently realized is: it's not South Jersey that reminds me of Scotland, it's the weather that does!

Since that incredible trip I haven't been in the Northeast for those sweet weeks of Autumn. What a lovely reminder of a grand adventure the recent weeks have been. Each day brings back a cherished memory.

What makes you think of your travels?
