The weather in the city has been pretty mild, with just a few days in the 40s, so my “garden” hasn’t yet reached peak color. However, if you look closely, you can notice some nice color spots emerging.
Overall, it’s mostly green. Mostly.
At the park entrance, already we can notice some changes.
On closer inspection, changes are afoot.
From just a few timid changes at the margins…
To a strong splash…
Peekaboo!
All the way to a full palette.
Last, but not least, a quick rest while waiting for peak color to set in.
(Taken on 10/18 and 10/31/20 with a Sony a5100.)

Absolutely love the fall colors and the reflections! The blues of the water along with the color of the trees, just stunning.
We don’t have much color here this year. It’s a good year for reds, but that’s about it.

What city is that with those ridiculous tall skinny towers?

@pat: They look like they should be karate-chopped down in some monster movie (or replace ‘monster’ with whatever other crazy action genre floats your boat).

Love the sequencing of the first three — from a distant view on through to a close-up of individual leaves. My fave, though, is the fourth one — it’s nice to be reminded that the color on the ground is part of the whole spectacle.

@pat:
And my favorite is the leaves. Great color.
Pharniel
Excellent reflection shots.

@pat: It’s New York, I think. Those super-skinny swank residential towers are the new hotness there. I think right in the middle you can just see the spire of the Empire State Building, diminished by perspective (it’s further back).

Great photo of the lake!

@Matt McIrvin:
They look ugly tbh

Thank you all!
It’s NYC and those horrible apartment buildings are on 57th St. and Central Park South (59th St.), between 6th and 8th Ave. They’re mostly empty, used by foreigners to park their shady funds, and by odd Americans to pay $238 million for a penthouse.
