2025 Fall Foliage - Part 1

I love this time of year when the fall foliage peaks here in the city. We've had some really beautiful days so far this season with bright blue skies that highlight the spectacular oranges, yellows, and reds.

Cemeteries are great places to find colorful trees. Below are a few images from Brooklyn and Queens.

Governors Island is usually a good place to go to see some colorful trees, but I was a little late this year and missed my favorite American Elm changing color.

My favorite year for Governors Island was 2020, when the trees were absolutely stunning. Inexplicably, many of those trees have since been chopped down.

Moving on to Prospect Park in Brooklyn, which has been really stunning this season. The photo below is looking across the lake towards the peninsula. Hard to believe this is NYC!

These images are from the back end of the lake which was a serene and relaxing place to be on this day.
