I shot this on Tuesday, October 30th. As my shift ended early, I decided to take advantage of the daylight and photograph the continuing explosion of fall colors. The Forest is especially wonderful this time of year. Reds, yellows, oranges, and great shades of violet cover its 50 acres. According to the Garden’s fall foliage tracker, we are now about halfway to peak color. And it can only get better. I didn’t edit this photo in the least—mother nature provided excellent colors!

Here’s to a frightful Halloween, a gentle autumn, and the last day of our Haunted Pumpkin Garden! After today, the pumpkins and spooks take their leave to make room for the peak of fall color, the coming winter, and the Holiday Train Show. We’ll see you in the Forest.

The pitcher plants in the Native Plant Garden huddle up for a morning chat about “this unseemly 40-degree a.m. weather we’ve been having.”

Fall’s light hits summer’s fading greens, and we’re left reveling in the overlap.

If you’re going to call autumn a drab season for flowers, you might want to make sure the Home Gardening Center is well out of earshot.
