    Fall colors in Prospect Hill Park
  (Oct 18, 2004, 3:09pm)

The next day I sent to Prospect Hill Park, in Waltham, MA.  Prospect Hill Park is a 250 acre wooded park with a couple of large hills, and an abandoned ski area.  It is also the site of a yearly orienteering meet.I took an hour off from work to visit Prospect Hill Park in the afternoon to see if I could fine any interesting foliage colors.  Unfortunately, the park was mostly yellow and green, with very little red which made for less than exciting pictures.

Daphne thought that this picture was worth keeping.  It shows a pair of ruins that straddle one of the trails (specifically the Boy Scout Trail) under a canopy of seasonal colors.
    Boston skyline and fall colors of Eastern Mass

On the eastern edge of the Prospect Hill Park is a tall cliff with no less than three different overlooks of Boston.

This is a picture of Boston from the middle overlook showing both the Boston skyline and the foliage colors of the towns of Waltham, Watertown and Cambridge.
    Stone wall through Whipple Hill in the fall
  (Oct 17, 2004, 12:19pm)

Stone walls are a common sight throughout  New England, and the Whipple Hill area is no exception.  I spotted this stone wall at the Southern end of the conservation area and thought that the sight of the stone wall disappearing over the hill made a nice picture.
