A Last Hurrah

Yesterday afternoon I made my way to the Botanic Garden in Cambridge to catch what may be the last of the Autumn colour, though it is possible that some trees may hang on to their leaves into December as they did last year. Here are the pictures I found, in roughly the order I found them. Some are quite subtle shades, while others, like the Japanese maple in the first photo are truly spectacular.























Take care.

    These are all beautiful views but the first photo is really breathtaking.

    Beautiful. Those maples are stunning. It's been too wet here to venture out, though the trees are, as you say, giving us their last blast before the winter.

    Actually John that Japanese Maple is just as spectacular underneath as it is on top.

    The last hurrah has passed already for us. We had 10cm of snow overnight.

    These are great...I like the maple by the water, and then the strange shapes of some of the plants!

    Oh, my....I love them all...some a bit more than others. I so wish autumn had hung on a bit longer here. Some of these have the most wonderful feel to them.

    Can't even pick a favorite here. The leaves in the water, though, but then there's the flower seedheads and the mossy rocks among the trees...

    Beautiful fall colors. I keep coming back to the first photo, though. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much brilliant red.

    Beautiful collection of photos - I love the colours and that one with the leaves against a dark pond (?) especially.
