2024 Colors of Fall in Connecticut 2

This will be the second week of full colors on display and there was a noticeable difference from last week.

The location is in Watertown, CT at the Crestbrook Park Gold course, and I chose this location as the hills offer great vistas and as it is in Litchfield County, the weather is a bit cooler than my home location.

Maintaining the same sequence as last week:

The shot above is looking down from the tee on our 11th hole.  The photo below is looking back up towards the tee.

The photo below is closer to the 11th green with the colors around the pond.

The next photo is looking up to the 13th green from the center of the fairway on this par 5.

As we played on the front side, it was easier to take the photos, and this is the side that offers the better views of the other side of the valley.

The above photos are on the 11th fairway looking across the valley. The colors are still not fully out.

The shot below is looking down the 6th fairway towards the green.

The par 5 9th hole is long and the colors are typically bright and colorful.

As it was so distinctive, I took a shot backwards towards the pro shop from the center of the 10th fairway.

The pond that is first to be seen when coming onto the park still is not fully colored but is getting there. When the wind is not blowing, the reflections of the trees can be seen as a mirror.

Below are the links to the first of this year's series.

Ed, your trees are certainly changing much faster than ours. Yesterday was the first day we actually saw a tree that turned orange overnight and I forgot to take photo!

Good morning, Ed... such beautiful photos and colors. You are way ahead of us here in Charlotte. Our colors are just starting.

Nina Hollander, Broker   I always knew going to your area that I could expect at least 10 degrees warmer than what I was leaving here.

Hi Ed,
Thanks for sharing the Fall colors. I need to remember to take some when I'm on the course Tuesday.

Carol Williams   It is easy to forget with the focus of the game and the distraction of the beauty.

Ed as I said last week your colors are ahead of mine.  I guess we will catch up when all the leaves are gone.  🤪

This is a very nice setting to show the Autumnal colors Ed Silva, 203-206-0754. I was sitting in my office and was amazed watching 100's of leaves gliding to the ground to form a blanket for the earth below.

Oct 13, 2024 02:43 PM
Ed Silva, 203-206-0754

Doug Dawes   That blanket needs to be raked and hauled away.

It is amazing how swiftly the colors change in New England, Ed.  We are still pretty green here in Sacramento.

Hi Ed- I love all of the colors!!!! Our changing fall colors are hit and miss here. I can't wait to see next week's.

Kathy Streib   The colors are brighter, we had a lot of rain when it was most needed.

Starting to see a little more color in your photos Ed.  I looks so pretty!  I bet this is really fun for you to drive around the course and take gorgeous shots!  Such a great idea!

Oct 14, 2024 04:43 PM
Ed Silva, 203-206-0754

Anna "Banana" Kruchten   The colors are bright, and I get the shots when I walk the course.

That's even better Ed!  One of my favorite things to do is play courses that you can walk!  So relaxing and pretty!  And if there were fall color changes here that would be so nice!  But on the other hand I'm glad we're back into the 80's today and off to enjoy the next 9 or so months of perfect golf weather.  Now only if I could be out there golfing with Gary.......hopefully by January or so.
