In NYC’s Central Park, a few colorful leaves are still hanging on…
… or, having just fallen, lie glowing in the undergrowth
where hosts of squirrels rustle about, preparing for winter
More photos are here.

Excellent photos – if you zoom in on the squirrel’s eyeball, is that you in the yellow parka ? :-)

You are right, those eyes do reflect the whole scene… I must be in there somewhere, but too hard to make out distinctly. (I wasn’t wearing a yellow parka.)
Thanks so much for following our blog!

Thanks! I think some color will still linger here and there, for a few weeks even—it did last year—but most of the leaves are now down…

Not really any special camera—all these photos were taken with a Nikon D80, a fairly basic DSLR camera, with zoom telephoto lenses mostly at 200-300mm…

They usually are, but since I’m in Oman and away from home for the third fall in a row, I missed the season altogether. I will be home next fall though to enjoy the leaves in all their splendor!
