As December approaches and the last of the autumn leaves flutter to the ground, I’m grateful that this is the second fall in a row a nor’easter or hurricane hasn’t robbed us of the season’s colors. Our late-turning trees often lose their leaves in late September or early October before they’ve had a chance to impress us at their brilliant peak with stunning shades of yellow, orange, and red. Here are just a few glimpses of the fall foliage through the lens of my many, many dog walks around the VB Oceanfront.
