2023 Fall Foliage - Part 1

Despite a lot of rain this fall, there were still opportunities to see some spectacular foliage around the city this season. Below are some highlights from Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Governors Island.

Green-Wood Cemetery:

This was Governors Island last week. It's worth noting the beautiful trees in this post from 2020 (4th, 5th, and 6th photos down) have been cut down for no apparent reason. They were really gorgeous.

At least we still have this cherry tree, which is lovely in all seasons.

More to come...

2023 Fall Foliage - Part 3

I thought I was done with fall foliage for the season, but there are still quite a few trees around in blazing color, so I couldn't resist a few more photos. Highlights below are from Governors Island and some cemeteries, which are usually good places for finding decorative trees.

This is the last colorful stand of trees in Nolan Park on Governors Island.

These red and yellow trees were photographed a week apart (top photo is more recent).

I missed the peak time for the orange Japanese Maples in Woodlawn Cemetery this year, but there were still many bright leaves to be found there this past week.

I'm not sure what types of trees these are, but I love the intense orange color.

And then there's this red, which is so bright, it never looks natural in a photo but the color is all real. Nature is amazing.
