Fall Foliage, View from the Lawn

Stunning New England Fall Foliage

You don’t have to go driving to see the trees turning. You can sit on the verandah and look west to see this vista. This picture was taken in late October, 2008. Each year we try to guess the peak of foliage in New England and each year no one can quite agree which week it is when you are in it. It’s only in hindsight that we know the “peak”. It depends on water and warmth and sun, and I love watching the trees change for many weeks during the fall in Lenox. The estate has a tree map noting the many types of trees on the property. We have some specimen plantings from about 80 years ago, including some rare Ginko Biloba trees.

Wedding Ceremony on the Lawn

This couple had their ceremony for about 90 guests on the lawn; rose petals were strewn on the isle; and here you can see the cocktail hour beginning. The chairs was facing South East, with a variety of lush trees behind the couple as they stood in front of their guests.

The Winthrop Estate sure is perfect for that special wedding!

Catching a Quiet Moment…

This was taken a little before the ceremony started. There is plenty of space at the Winthrop Estate for the best man to take a walk.
