Autumn Foliage at the New York Botanical Garden

The New York Botanical Garden is a museum of plants, an educational institution, and a scientific research organization. It was founded in 1891 and is now a national historic landmark. At the heart of the garden are 50 acres of virgin woodlands which represent the last stretch of the original forest which covered all of New York City before the arrival of European settlers. During the fall, the garden displays enchanting autumnal colors like those captured in the images above.
