The word in the northeast is that there is no color this autumn. So I drove to northern New Jersey's Ramapo Valley Reservation in Bergen County on a beautiful late October day. Then, a week later, I visited Essex County's South Mountain Reservation. You decide for yourself.
The images in this gallery were taken with a Sony a7iii using G-series 24-105mm and Zeiss 18mm lenses.
