This past Saturday the three of us, plus canines, made our fall pilgrimage to Colonial Williamsburg. The weather was chilly, but not cold, appropriate for the season. Our timing was good as this was likely the peak weekend for fall color in Williamsburg, and the trees did not disappoint. For this post we will skip the history lessons and just enjoy the photos, but if you want to learn more just click on the
Williamsburg label in my sidebar for several previous visits.
The next few shots were taken in the
Adams Garden on the William and Mary campus.
The weeping tree below is Cascade Falls Bald Cypress (
Taxodium distichum 'Cascade Falls'), a newer cultivar.
We will end our day trip by taking my favorite way home on the
Jamestown-Scotland ferry. It crosses the James River and is one of Virginia's great free treasures, plus it is often quicker and always less frustrating then I-64.
I'm sorry I'm missing the leaves this year. Not much color down here in Florida.
ReplyDeleteNice collection. Such a pretty time to visit CW. And the ferry ride never needs an excuse!
ReplyDeleteWilliamburg is so beautiful, and I would love to visit it in the fall. Thanks for the tip about the ferry--free?!?
ReplyDeleteI confess to a great fondness for fall..
ReplyDeleteThanks Les, for sharing these gorgeous scenes. Colonial Williamsburg is one of my most favorite destinations. We were there in December a few years ago, and the natural decor on the doors, etc. changed my idea of Christmas decor.

Gorgeous! The fall color stunning. The ferry ride too. We have a little ferry not far from me and I love taking it-for a dollar. Free is awesome.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful outing, particularly as seen through your lens.
ReplyDeleteLes, I've never been to Williamsburg. You've amped up my interest to get there to see the fall color and the W&M campus...Beautiful photos and the dogs are so cute. gail
ReplyDeleteWhat a display of beauty! Fall is a wonderful season and the proof for that are these amazing colors! What a nice place, you show us so many beautiful paradises in the USA, thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Given the lack of dramatic autumn colour here, it was good to enjoy yours. That second image in particular really lifted my spirits on what is a very dull grey damp day.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your trip and all the images. I like visiting Williamsburg and have not in so long. It is such a beautiful place.
