A gorgeous study, Vlad. I love the way the leaves have captured the fall sun; it’s like storing up treasure, gazing at these images.

Absolutely beautiful! Our fall colors have been the dullest in years.

They are pretty good here in NYC, although late as usual. Central Park itself doesn’t have the greatest color—the trees there turn mostly yellow and brown, rather than red—but bright colors can always be found if you look…And of course the sun brings everything to life :-)

Ours leaves have either already fallen, or still holding on and are dark/drab

Actually, even though some trees are almost bare now, many others are still green—we’ll be seeing fall colors for some time to come :-)

Its the same over here in Scotland! The plum tree outside my window is still green, while the maples have mostly shed their glorious coloured coats already. Isn’t nature amazing the way we get a different show each year?

One year we even had snow still in October, right in the middle of the foliage season, very unusual for NYC. Of course, another year we had Superstorm Sandy in October…

Gorgeous. Autumn has such beauty. Until the rain takes all the leaves and the raking commences.

In the park the fallen leaves just magically disappear. :-) I don’t know what they do with them—probably nothing, just let them decay where they’ve fallen, the natural way…

I bet they blow them away.

I think you’re right—now that you mention it, I remember seeing piles of leaves in years past. But it’s a VERY big park…

These days, Central Park is maintained by its own conservancy, funded by all the rich people who live around the park, which has its own people. (Don’t know how much they get paid :-) ) Now other parks in the city also want some of the action…
