Coming around a corner and this tree just screamed "take my picture" at us.  Pretty cool how the cows grazing in the field behind could have cared less.  But then, they pretty much don't care about anything.  Enjoy.

Took a 10 minute hike off the road in VT to see this little known place called Chesterfield Gorge State Wayside, VT.   Enjoy.

Somewhere in Vermont I grabbed this shot of the turning leaves.  Not too many reds this time, but the yellows were pretty vibrant. (thanks Lightroom).  My point is we are in the midst of a winter storm here in Boston and I forgot to process these Fall photos which it seems like I took just yesterday.  Enjoy.

How's this for a view outside my office? Add a little soft focus and warmth and the trees look like they are on fire. So sad the leaves are almost gone. The colors turned so erratically this fall, I had a hard time finding a bunch of trees turning color at the same time. Enjoy.

So, we are walking around New York City and end up at the Park Plaza.  It's getting late in the day and Central Park is right there so we took a short walk around the lake.  It's a great time to cruise around Central Park, the colors are out, the people are out and the weather was awesome.  I don't know the name of this bridge or pond, but I love the Ivy spreading across and turning a deep red.  Enjoy.

Don't forget to look down.  It's fall, and everyone talks about the trees, the trees and their beautiful colors.  Don't forget those colorful leaves end up on the ground and can create some beautiful colored displays.  These are a few shots I took this morning on my walk to work.  Even the base of the tree was coated in a rich green moss that extends to the root down the hill.  Enjoy.

It's hard to believe it was 86 degrees out today here in New England, but there are signs that fall is setting in. I was out in Medford taking photos of buildings and happened on this sprawling vine that is turning from green to red in beautiful fashion. The textures and colors struck me in a calming way. Enjoy.
