Hudson River Park

Hudson River Park near our apartment in October. A honey bee photo bombed my shot of the skipper and pulled the focus away. I enjoy framing the city with vegetation.

    This really is a good selection. You kept in the right amount of the bee bomb context

    Sumac’s one of our few dependable sources of autumn color. They’re beautiful — and who doesn’t love a bee, photobombing or otherwise?

    The warbler is so good – I felt as if I could pat it. I have never seen a Rhus as colourful as yours.

      Thanks you so much. Sumac (Rhus) turns a brilliant red in the fall.

    Amazing appearance in your warbler. Looks like it’s dressed up for a fancy night out! I think the colors in the sumac are so beautifully intense! In the last photo what beatiful contrast between foreground and background!
