The Beauti-Fall Calm Before the Storm

Before Hurricane Sandy officially rears her ugly head, enjoy our photo gallery and feel free to submit any photos you've already taken this season.

In the coming hours, we will no doubt be seeing quite a different picture of autumn weather in New Jersey. 

In the meantime, enjoy these shots, taken at Echo Lake Park just a few days ago in Mountainside, and at the Farmers' Market in New Providence.

As we wait for Mother Nature to play yet another trick on us this Halloween, Patch would love to see your photos.  Readers are encouraged to upload their favorite shots of Jack-o-Lanterns, and any other 'lil pumpkin photos before the Frankenstorm arrives! 

Find out what's happening in New Providence-Berkeley Heightsfor free with the latest updates from Patch.
