This year the shift from summer to Autumn happened overnight.  27C degrees dropping to 14C for a daytime high, it is as if Mother Nature hit a switch and nature's fall transformation was underway.  Evenings became cool and dark while morning darkness lingered.  Leaves began to turn almost instantly.  People started reaching for their sweaters and cozy clothes, turning their fans and air conditioning off...  This hat is what you need to reach for, to help ease the transition into autumn and winter.  It reminds me of cold dark nights and a warm fire, meeting friends at a pub or cozy meeting place.  Despite being a depiction of Van Gogh's Apricot blossoms (read springtime), the color is reminiscent of the long sunsets in the fall that glow with deep blue colors, as the darkness filters in.
