Puddle of Leaves

As I was walking along the Charles River, I noticed a puddle of leaves under one of the trees. I loved all of the colors mixed together and the light shining down upon it. Thought it looked pretty cool.

Tilted Reflection

As I was walking down the pathway to JFK Park in Harvard Square, I took this image of a puddle. I really liked the color and the reflection. Photo taken in late November. If I recall correctly, it was actually quite warm out today. If this puddle was still here today, it would be pure ice.

Reflections and Water

Was trying to play with the shadows and create a "moody" feel for this picture. I like how it came out. This particular picture was taken back in November towards the end of the fall season. The John W Weeks Footbridge is in the background (construction had just started).

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! These are a few photos I took on a late November afternoon at JFK Park in Cambridge, MA.

The Fall

As I was walking around Cambridge this weekend, I could barely see the ground in some spots... about 95% of the leaves are now off the trees. It's definitely evident in the pictures I took. On the first one, you can see that the bench is almost entirely covered. Bring on winter and snowboarding season!

A Late Fall Afternoon on the Charles

On the almost fully repaired Boston University bridge looking out over the Charles River towards Boston's skyline. It's quite a beautiful view. This shot was taken on a late afternoon in the fall with the sun behind me. You can notice many trees along the river have already changed color. The sailboats were out in full effect this day.

Back to Boston

Had a great trip to Miami... but back in Boston now. Greeted with some lovely fall colors.

Reflections and Color

Reflections and color... hard to believe that I took this photo at a spot in the middle of the city of Boston.

The Open Road

Every Sunday during the spring, summer, and fall, a section of Memorial Drive (next to the Harvard campus) is closed to cars... turns into a pedestrian only area. Last Sunday was one of the last days of the year that it will remain closed to cars (kind of sad).

Regardless, I'm pretty stoked that the city of Cambridge would do this. I usually do my grocery shopping on Sunday... and it allows me an easy bike commute to Whole Foods & Trader Joe's. It's also interesting to see the road covered in leaves during the fall. With cars zipping past, you don't notice things like that.

Red Leaves, Blue Skies, Can't Lose

I was really happy how this picture came out... bright red leaves in the foreground, bright blue sky in the background, and some leaves/branches out of focus in between. It's definitely a bit more "artsy" than most of my photos.

A Tree Illuminated

I was walking through the Boston Public Gardens on a beautiful fall day in the late afternoon. The sun was at a very low angle and it was illuminating a tree next to the pond. I thought that it really brought out the colors nicely.

Looking UP??

Walking through Harvard Square on a lovely fall day.... and looking UP
The color combinations were very nice against the bright blue sky.

A Floating Tree

This photo was taken along the Charles River bike path near Harvard. I loved how this tree was floating in a pond of multi-colored leaves... overall, the colors came out really nice and the red leaves added made it more vibrant.

Reflections & Puddles

After a heavy rain storm, puddles form wherever there is an indentation in the concrete (which happens to be quite a few places in Boston). Usually, these puddles are a nuisance... however, during the fall time, they can turn into a work of art (if you look at them a certain way). The mixture of the fallen leaves, reflections, and colors make for a beautiful image. These are a few puddles I found walking around Harvard Square.

Autumn Abstract

I was walking through the park and was surround by amazing colors. Instead of taking a standard/crisp photograph, I decided to try and create an abstract image by adding a motion blur. I think it came out pretty interesting.

A Colorful Day in the Public Gardens

What you don't see in this picture are all the tourists huddled around me. Nonetheless, the Public Gardens in Boston are quite beautiful during the fall season.

Falling Back to Boston

Had a lovely trip to Northern California... but now it's time to be back in New England and enjoy the fall season. Leaves in the process of changing along the Charles River Esplanade.

The Esplanade Colors

Relaxing along the Charles River Esplanade... a preview of the fall colors yet to come.

Autumn at the Boston Public Gardens

Relaxing under a tree in the Boston Public Gardens. As you can see, some of the trees are starting to change color.

I actually had to wait in a bit of a line to take this picture. There were a group of people lined up under this tree shooting away... I'm sure if you do a google image search right now, you'll find a bunch of images that look similar. Nonetheless, I like it!
