Hi friends, welcome back! This fall season really got away from me, but I made it in time to see Central Park before all the leaves fell. I was nervous I had missed all the gorgeous foliage, but when I got to Bow Bridge, I was absolutely amazed by the sight before me. Central Park sure is special!
I was clearly not expecting to be in a picture, hence my outfit, but when someone offers I can’t help but say yes 🙂 It was a perfect day to wander around Central Park!
The Pond looked so pretty! This was as far north as I ventured, but if you want to see the northern part of Central Park in the fall you can check out my post from last year here.
Some lucky girl was going to have a very memorable day! I didn’t stick around to watch, but hopefully she said yes!
Bethesda Fountain is always a popular spot.
Walking through The Mall with the leaves falling and the scent of leaves mixed with those mouthwatering pecans made for the perfect NYC moment!
I visited a few days before the NYC Marathon so they were busy setting everything up. The city really comes out to support the marathoners!
If only I lived closer and could walk through here every day. It takes me about thirty minutes to get here from our apartment in the Financial District.
Wollman Ice Rink is all ready for the holiday season. Even though it was about 60*F this day, plenty of people laced up their skates for some fun.
The contrast of the park with the massive skyscrapers never gets old.
Last stop, the always beautiful Bow Bridge.
It was such a perfect fall day and I’m so happy I made it in time to see all the fall foliage. Hope you enjoyed this tour! This concludes “fall” on my blog and it’s all things Christmas from here on out 🙂
Oooooh, I was waiting for this post. Nice to see that it is still fall somewhere. Central Park is so beautiful in all seasons. Thanks for sharing Lyssy. Have a great week. Allan
Yay! I’m so happy you were excited for this post 🙂 Central Park sure is pretty all year long. Hope you have a great week too!
Beautiful photos! I can’t believe people were already ice skating (or that they can maintain the rink when it’s that warm outside).
Thank you! I agree, I wonder how they keep that ice. Rockefeller and Bryant Park ice rinks are open too already. I think it’s supposed to be a warmer winter too.
Nice share. Thank you
Thank you!
Beautiful tour of Central Park, thank you for sharing!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed!
Gorgeous shots!!! 🙂
Thank you!! 🙂
You are very welcome! 🙂
Stunning photos, Lyssy! You picked the perfect day to photograph fall in Central Park. I loved this post!
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed this tour. It was truly the perfect day!
Gorgeous fall colours and fabulous photos Lyssy
Thank you!!
So beautiful, like Diana I can’t believe the ice is frozen enough to skate! Maggie
Thank you! It’s finally starting to get cooler so the ice rink will fare better.
These photos are beautiful- so lovely to get a virtual glimpse of Central Park at this time of year!
Thank you! It was a perfect day in Central Park, glad you enjoyed!
You picked a perfect day to see the colors in Central Park. So beautiful!
I really did, it was stunning!
Amazing photos as always 😍
Thank you! 🙂
Aaaand, we are back to Central Park…. boom! These shots positively drip with handsome autumnal tones Lyssy. Once again I am left cursing not having a teleporter at our disposal. We could just drop in for a few hours and then return to Tbilisi for our afternoon classes. Love how The Mall is just enveloped in shade.
Lots of NYC content coming up 🙂 If I had a dollar every time I wished I could teleport I could probably pay someone to invent it haha! It would be so amazing if we could wake up/go to sleep in our beds but have a day of exploring somewhere cool without the hassle of travel. As I was walking through The Mall a guide was explaining how it was planned to create shade one day.
Gorgeous autumn foliage photos of Central Park Lysssy.
Thank you!!
Oh my gosh, do you ever look like Kristen. You could be her twin instead of Lauren.
Yes that would make a lot more sense!
The fall is my favourite time of the year when all the leaves are changing colour. Your pictures look gorgeous. I love the reflections in the water.
Thank you! The fall is my favorite time of year too 🙂 It’s so pretty but not miserably cold yet.
Central Park looks absolutely magical, and your photos are so beautiful. I love the reflection of the bridge in the water!!!
Thank you!! The fall sure is stunning this year!
What a beautiful day for this photo shoot. Central Park is at its best and your photos are well chosen. You would make a great guide to the best spots in the park.
Thank you!! I think I would be a good guide of Central Park and all the Christmas decor 🙂
Wow, this is so beautiful! I also think it’s my first time seeing some of these spots in Central Park, and your pictures are stunning!
Thank you!! There’s always something new to see in Central Park!
Is the first photo Bow Bridge or the last several? Regardless, when the water reflects the image, as with the bridges, it makes for truly special photos. Central Park sure has its “moods”, every one of them stunning.
The stone bridge is Gapstow Bridge, which is the first and last several. Bow Bridge is the gold-ish one. You’re right, it really does have it’s moods and each of them is stunning in their own way.
Wow the colours are beautiful, you definitely captured it at the perfect time 🙂
It was a perfect day!
Beautiful photos of Central Park! I am loving the fall colors!
