Take 5: Take It Or Leave(s) It

Fall foliage is coming in slowly but surely across Massachusetts. Pops of red, orange, and gold pepper the forests and hillsides as nature begins to wind down for the impending winter.

To help you enjoy the fall colors, here are five photos from our annual Picture This: Your Great Outdoors photo contest featuring close-ups of leaves in full fall regalia. Get the most out of fall with our fall foliage guide, including the timing of various tree species, great fall foliage hikes, and tips for capturing your own spectacular fall photography.
