As Spring heads toward the mid-Atlantic, I keep thinking about Autumn for some reason. It's always been my favorite season, but sometimes I feel like it falls off my radar each year as it's also always the season for midterms, fellowship applications, and student conferences.

Reds at Meteora
At a tholos tomb near Pharsalos
Sunset over Lebedaia
The Valley of the Muses
