Autumn was in full swing when I recently spent five days at Concord in the state of Massachusetts, USA. For those of us who live in the tropics, it could not get more exotic. Concord is out in the country. I got there from Boston by commuter train which took about 45 minutes. There were lots of pockets of woods with all their beautiful autumn colors as well as those trees in home gardens around old New England style wood houses. I went to Concord to pay my respects to all the Transcendental writers like Emerson, Thoreau and Alcott who have influenced my life and to see the place that they had lived. The town also is important in US revolutionary history so I visited those historic sites as well. Here are a few garden connected photos from Concord for you. Remember you can click on one to enlarge them.
