fall colors?

Actually, yes—I found these pale pink beauties  
blooming in the garden about a week ago, so . . .

Shadow Shot Sunday

In honor the official arrival of autumn
this past Friday. Personally, I'm hoping it's
uneventful (meteorologically speaking, at least).

Mellow Yellow Monday

They're fading—and falling—fast, but I found
this beauty hanging on valiantly in my Brooklyn
neighborhood. Maybe that's because this is the
"Tree of Heaven," the ailanthus, the tree that
grows in Brooklyn. How is (or was) the leaf-
peeping where you are?

last flowers of fall

Shot these on the North Fork of Long Island

on Saturday.  I'd like to dedicate this post

to my cousin John Ripley, a true hero, who

passed away this weekend.
