Fall Foliage in the City



I want to share the foliage beauty I am seeing in Boston with you. Foliage in Maine this year (at least in the foothills) truly sucked! Usually, by the time I get to Boston, there isn't much to see color-wise, but this year was just so spectacular I was moved to take my camera and capture scenes that took my breath away.

I will follow up this post with a slide show a bit later, but here are individual photos I thought you would enjoy. Mind you... these photos were taken November 10th and 11th. Way...... past the time for this kind of color. I also see tons of rose bushes still in bloom.

So please enjoy!!


This is a hosta. I love them when they are green, but this Fall breakdown in color is beautiful as well.












Don't ask me what type of tree this is. I think it is a Japanese miniature something or other, but every year it captures my attention.



This was taken along what I believe is the Neponset River in Dorchester. I am not used to seeing this portion of it and came upon it by accident. It was raining cats and dogs on the day this was taken.











It was raining when I snapped this and you can see the rain droplets reflected on the lens, but it does not take away from the beauty of this color display.
