a mature Japanese tree lilac (
Syringa reticulata) above the gold fall color of Solomon's Seal (
Polygonatum sp.), the spot of red is a
Hydrangea still in bloom, evergreen
Vinca in the foreground and lilacs (
Syringa cultivars) in the background

The fall color is just beginning in the city and it is a magical time of year for New Yorkers. Above is a kind of linden tree (the genus
Tilia) turning that fabulous bright yellow with it's branches dark and stately.

The main fountain at the Conservatory Garden in Central Park shows off a beautiful rainbow when seen in the right light.

Almost completely defoliated the crabapple (
Malus sp.) allees are taken back to their mature bones for the coming winter.

From top to bottom: oak (
Quercus sp.), crabapple (
Malus sp.), Corylopsis (
Corylopsis sp.)

The big oaks begin their rain of glossy leaves and acorns.

The
Corylopsis again, a few days later, with the golden
Polygonatum still hanging on and the rich green
Epimedium and
Helleborus refusing to give in to the trend.
