Photo of the Day: Big Red, Nyack Beach State Park, NY

As I sorted through the images I took this past Sunday at Nyack Beach State Park in Rockland County, this one practically leaped out of the computer screen. The scarlet-flamed leaves, I guess, just stood out against the view of the Hudson River here—an ideal way to convey the allure of autumn in upstate New York.

I just wish I knew the name of this particular tree. Please feel free to send your suggestions.
