It's a small world.

I took this picture last November-- my first experience of all four seasons on the East Coast! Today I went through my files just to find and show my mother this picture.

What compelled this, you ask? My mother was talking to her CPA (certified public accountant) when the subject of families/children came up as most small talk turns towards. Turns out the accountant earned her undergrad accounting degree from Syracuse!!! And after that, BOOM instant bonding time! They compared experiences (my mother speaking on my behalf as I wasn't there to witness this event) from outdoor activities to studies and reputation, etc.

One thing the CPA specific mentioned was how beautiful the city was in the fall with the autumn leaves. My mother asked me about this later when she came home, so I just had to expose her to this picture I took when I stood in awe at the colorful autumn leaves.
