“Fall has always been my favorite season.
The time when everything bursts with its last beauty,
as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.”

and then…
an amazing drive through the Long Island Sound of New York…
Oh My.
Gotta go back there…
the home of the Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park…
that includes another magical Japanese Maple…
Have a wonderful weekend!!
Lauren DeStefano nailed it, Robin. Exactly. She said it and you showed it. THANK YOU. And again, another magnificent Japanese maple!
The leaves floating in the ripple water – almost but not quite abstract – is my favorite of today’s images. And closely behind – the view of the Japanese Maple looking up. Those twisted branches and gloriously colored leaves make me think of the effort required to grow and reach and how at the end, it’s all worth it. Your images are simply calling to me – love the wide views – and the sense that you are out there investing in not only your own life, but the world at large.
The twisted branches of the tree in the last picture are mesmerizing, intense in b/w.
Otherwise beautiful colours of autumn and such tranquil scenes from the heart of NY.
Everything is so beautiful I can’t even pick which photo I like the best. They are all just stunning!!! Thanks for sharing. XoXo
Absolutely breathtaking and mesmerizing! You just blow me over each and every time I visit.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Love you.

Robin, that’s magical. “Gotta go back there…” exactly. Many, many years ago, I spent two weeks I’ll never forget, with a very special person on Long Island, one of the most beautiful places on earth. More photos, please, like in: regularly, each week.
les couleurs sont superbes
I find myself clapping inside as I move from one image to the next
…..so very, very beautiful! THANK you for sharing the view from your
exquisite heart lens,
Jennifer
I LOVE your city so.
STunning. Gotta love that squirrel:)
Robin the first and last of these took my breath away, they are beautiful, the first would have been missed by most folk and really captures that autumnal feel. The B&W shot is superb, as you know from my blog I just love em’
