Fall Foliage: Last Look?

Every year we look forward to the splendor that is fall foliage season in New England. A truly spectacular show by nature of brilliant colors that each season draws untold thousands of "Leaf Peepers" to and through Fairfield county on their journey north to take it all in before the leaves fall. By now, a great many of the trees in the Westport area are bare so we are taking what might be a last look at this amazing show courtesy of Mother Nature. In addition to Westport, photos heer also include some from Fairfield & Redding. We will keep our eyes on the trees to see if we can add to this collection, but as this may be our "last look", then please enjoy!
