Western New York Foliage Part 4

October 16 and 18. The first set of photos is from the ride down and back on Route 19 from Brockport to Belfast, NY. I am always partial to barns in my photos especially if they are painted red. This is probably because I grew up on a farm near Brockport, NY. I came across…

Sierra Nevadas Fall Color: Part 2

October 16-19 We spent two nights in Lee Vining, CA which is considered the eastern gateway to Yosemite National Park. We did not go over the Tioga Pass road, but went up it partially to see if there were any color spots. At least as far as we went there was not much color. We…
