A Taste Of Autumn In Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia
This employee of Colonial Williamsburg donned her jacket as the temperature dropped from the upper 80's to the mid-60's over the weekend, giving a little taste of the fall weather approaching.
It looks like the jacket is part of the period costume, but the sunglasses are not. Which raises a question of whether people had sunglasses in colonial times. People wore glasses back then, but I don't remember seeing any old paintings of people in sunglasses.
She looks like she stepped out of another time - it must be wonderful to see and photograph. We got down to 37 at our house a couple of nights ago, so fall has finally arrived here too.
