Fellows Riverside Gardens

On Sunday afternoon we visited the Fellows Riverside Gardens, part of Mill Creek MetroParks. 
It was a gorgeous fall day, and the gardens were decorated for the annual pumpkin walk.
Of course, as you might have guessed, the decorations involved pumpkins-- LOTS of pumpkins!

There were 100's of pumpkins set out on the paths and lawn areas.  Each one was carved and ready for the twilight walk that evening.  They light each and every pumpkin at dusk, and you can stroll the gardens by candlelight-- or should I say pumpkin light.

They also have two large gazebos on the grounds.

LittleJ and I enjoyed the gazebo.  And the view was beautiful as well.


After a lot of roaming around, we ended up here.
 And what can you see from this viewpoint?
I wish I could have captured the colors better.  The peak autumn colors probably were about a week ago, but they are still very nice.  We've had a great fall season this year.
Next year we will have to go in the evening when the pumpkins are lit.
Now, I'm looking forward to the Christmas walk they have in December.
