It rained Wednesday night and lots of puddles turned up everywhere, the next morning. Here’s are a few, filled with Autumn leaves and reflections of empty trees.
Yay! It’s Friday. Have a great day!

There are a lot of trees in the city that are still full of leaves and are still changing colors. Here’s one of the few trees I’ve seen that has lost all its leaves. Right on the top is a squirrel nest, like the one that I mentioned about in the post below.

Behind the trees in Riverside park, I spy some kind of red boat a red barge on the Hudson river. It’s been there all weekend.
Happy Ruby Tuesday!

Now that the Christmas holiday is over, I see this scene a lot –Christmas trees in the streets, waiting to be picked up for disposal.

Ed. Note: Several of you have commented on what happens to the trees after they are thrown away. The City Sanitation Department has a curbside collection and recycling program, which lasts from January 5-16. During this time, they will come and pick up the trees left on the curbside, chip, and turn them into compost.
The Parks Department will then spread the mulch over places like the city parks, ball fields and community gardens.
The only requirement is that when you leave your tree to be picked up, you must remove all the tinsel and lights from the tree. Also you must not put the tree in a plastic bag.
According to reports, the Sanitation Department collected and mulched 160,000 trees last year.
