After being in Boston for a week, when I took a walk at Brightwood Park yesterday I found the foliage almost over.  Two turtles were still enjoying the sunlight around noon time.  Judging by the difference in the look of their shells, I guessed there was a parent (or grandparent) accompanied by a youngster.

A few maple leaves were still hanging on a tree,  Four were dancing in the wind as a group.  Another one dressed in a darker color was doing a solo.  The audience happened to be a few remaining leaves on an oak tree.

On the trail leading to Fanwood Avenue entrance, two years ago I found on a slope a tiny patch of orange-colored lichens-like plant.  I was happy to see the plant still being there .  The fallen leaves surrounding formed a frame for the beautiful little creature.

On the back trail, berries of red and purple colors could still be found.  I was wondering if the birds decided to spare them for my entertainment.

A hole on an oak tree near the dam and bridge caught my attention.  After peeking inside I was amazed by the decorative fungi on the wall and a clean and neat wooden floor, looking like a place ready for rent.  Not sure who had been living there but sure enough, the residents kept the place very well.
