It looks like the first week in November is the new peak foliage point in Boston.
"In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present." Francis Bacon
About Today in Boston: We keep hearing that people miss our cover photos that ran for years in the Back Bay Sun. That assignment was to provide a photo that showed what the week was like in the neighborhood. Often the photos illustrated favorite quotations. Today in Boston is an occasional offering to our BostonZest readers featuring photos along the same theme but taken wherever we happen to be.

We've been following the colors of fall as they tiptoe their way into the city. Yankee Magazine's foliage map now has our area shown as peak color. Our guess is that, here in the city, you'll still see some stunning scenes into November. We're still seeing lots of green as a backdrop to those early show-off trees.
Here are a few links that will prove useful for planning a leaf peeping excursion.
Please tell us where your favorite foliage spots are and let us know if you have a resource to share. You can add it in the comments below or send it via Twitter.
This is a comprehensive site with a discussion forum, photo galleries, festivals, multi-media, webcams, predictions, reports, touring ideas, and safaris. All this with a big dose of expert tips on how to do everything from catching peak foliage to practising the art of getting lost.
We'll update with any new sites we find. Get out there and enjoy the peak of foliage season!

Each time we walk to the Boston Public Garden, we savor the fact that the beautiful lagoon has not been drained for its fall cleaning and prepared for its transition to a skating pond. Here's how it looked last week.

This week, we noticed how the colorful foliage called attention to the angles and the colors in the roof and stonework in this view of the Old South Church in the Back Bay.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been showing ways the colors of fall call things to our attention.
