It's late October,The Impotent King (2005) in English Subtitles but you wouldn't know it from a walk through Central Park.
As the Wall Street Journal has extensively reported, the park's famous fall foliage hasn't made much of an appearance this year, disappointing Instagrammers, photographers, and leaf enthusiasts around the city.
In fact, such was the autumnal discontent that Central Park issued a suggestion: look for foliage at the north end of the Mall, south of the Swedish Cottage, and atop the Great Hill. Easy enough, right?
SEE ALSO: This clip of animals eating pumpkins is a delightful palate cleanserSo on a brisk fall evening, we traveled to the Great Hill, hoping to see at least one of what the Wall Street Journalcalls "celebrity trees."
Here is the transcript of our journey.
---
Laura:We're here in Central Park looking for signs of fall foliage. We're at the Great Hill.
Chloe:There's a red tree. It's extremely small.
L:Very small. And so, we've come up here today because of a pleasant article in the Wall Street Journalcovering how disappointed New Yorkers are in the lack of fall foliage in Central Park this season. So far, I agree with that assessment. I'm just seeing some light yellowing.
C:Mostly on the tops. The top of that one's really yellow. Looks nice against the sky.
L:It does look nice against the sky. Oh, I think I see a tree that looks highly Instagrammable. OK, we have a beautiful red tree here on our left.
[We wander into a secluded clearing. There is a group of teens enjoying pleasant picnic.]
L:Oh no, we're crashing a picnic. Anyway, we're seeing beautiful fall foliage. Yes, there is less than might normally be here,
C:I don't get to come to Central Park often and this is really beautiful. I'm going to take a picture of this tree.
L:Beautiful tree.
L:Let's discuss the crunch of leaves underfoot. How do you feel about the level of leaves on the ground right now?
C:I gotta say, much like a baby bird's food, I think these leaves have been pre-crunched, but that doesn't mean they're not satisfying.
L:Yes. It's sad that there's not very much on the ground. We passed through a small patch where there were a lot of leaves on the ground, but here on the path there's almost nothing. This is, like, September-level fallen leaves. Most of the trees still have their leaves on, only a few of them are a nice burnt orange, but most are still green.
[We come upon a nice, small tree.]
C:This is a nice, small tree. The leaves look like peaches almost. Wrong season, same look.
L:There's not a single bare tree in sight. It's very nice evening in New York. We're coming up to an adorable tree, it's got beautiful red at the top. Let's take a nice photo.
C:I feel like we're interrupting a lot of dates.
L:We are, yes.
L:Do you feel disappointed by the level of foliage you're seeing here today?
C:Not necessarily. My expectations were pretty low. I was just expecting one red tree, but there are honestly several.
L:I agree. I am still feeling disappointed as I have experienced better foliage in my lifetime. I am disappointed in the lack of crunch underfoot, but this has still been quite pleasant.
C:Overall, better than expected. My thoughts are pretty much all positive.
