Fall is a gorgeous time to take pictures at The New York Botanical Garden. In the Thain Family Forest, the trees are slowly but surely changing colors. Through this weekend, the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory is full of mesmerizing, gargantuan kiku. Pumpkins galore adorn the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden. And everywhere you turn, our feathery, fuzzy, and furry friends are scurrying about getting ready for the impending winter. There’s beauty at every turn, and by entering your photos of the Garden into the International Garden Photographer of the Year contest, you could even earn some global acclaim for your shots!

The fifth-annual competition of the International Garden Photographer of the Year contest closes to entries on November 30, 2011. The entry fee is 10£ or around $16, but if one of your photographs wins, you could make that fee back in spades. The grand prize award is around $8,000!
