On Sunday night, I headed out in search of foliage having realized that the recent cold snaps had made short work of this year’s leaf peeping season in Marblehead.  I hit a few spots before turning onto Pleasant Street and noticing the way the setting sun was illuminating the top of the maple tree at Memorial Park.

I quickly pulled over, ran out of the car with camera in hand, and captured a few frames before the sun dropped and the light disappeared.
