So how is the foliage at the Public Garden and Boston Common this week?

Can't speak for the Common or the Garden, but I've got quite a few leaves down, if anyone wants a bucolic New England experience and help me rake them up!

Boston Common foliage is no different from Central Park. I thought there would be more color. What a great day in Boston. :)

I rode the Minuteman Bikeway yesterday, and I can't say that the colors were especially vibrant. Still, it's one of the better routes for foliage-enjoying inside of 128.

It seems to me that Boston, and the other towns that are right on the ocean, have an odd foliage season. The leaves change at widely different times, so there never really seems to be a "peak".

Yeah - what I see on leaves in Cambridge doesn't seem to bear a relationship to stuff outside the city, and I'm sure it's different in Western MA too.

FWIW, in Cambridge, I think we hit peak last weekend.

I think last weekend was peak in Central CT. A little too warm, but a nice weekend.

Probably goes without saying, but Sandy pretty much put an end to the foilage season in Southern New England. It was past peak, but there still were decent patches of color. Now, there is very little left.

Parts of northeastern MA still have a lot of bright spots. My backyard is very colorful. We didn't lose many leaves, surprisingly.

Agreed - not many leaves at all left on the trees here. So from the date I started this thread, the season here in Maine went about a month or more. Not too shabby!
