Since we’re so close to New England, the fall colors on Long Island are generally overlooked. We have no mountains, but we do have wetlands. Here on the east end, the wetland foliage is now at its peak and Trout Pond in Sag Harbor is especially vibrant. Late yesterday afternoon I photographed these leaves in the muddy shallows along the south end of the pond. It’s a pleasant hike along the edge, and if you’re feeling ambitious, you can continue onto the trails which climb the glacial moraine south of Sag Harbor. There you enter woods dominated by oaks and Mountain Laurel.

Superb colours! 🙂
Thanks Richard- I had a lot of fun taking this one, but I did get my feet wet!
Hehe… The things we do for our art! 🙂
I can easily imagine this pattern on a silk gown. Autumn’s nimble embroidery!
Wonderful comment..thanks.
Note: I realized today that I liked my own post by mistake (lol). Unfortunately there’s no way on WP to rectify this. Please forgive any unintended narcissism.
Smell of autumn…
