Autumn in Upstate New York...
Thursday, October 8, 2009
It is one of the prettiest times of the year here where I live. The trees are all decked out in their finest fall colors. And today the sky is actually brilliantly blue. Maybe if this nice weather sticks around for the weekend I will take Little Man for a ride to see all the pretty colors.
There is a State Park about an hour from me that is just spectacular in its fall colors. Letchworth is known as the "Grand Canyon of the East". Go ahead and click on that link. You can read all about it. Below are some pictures of this park in all its Autumn splendor.
I love this time of year just for the show that mother nature puts on for us, but it also depresses me. I know that after the last leaf falls from the tree, winter's impending gloom will be upon us. Snow, sleet, slush, shoveling the car out. These are a few of my least favorite things.
Okay, not going to think about winter. Leaving the coat in the back of the closet for a while longer. I'm just going to enjoy the colorful masterpiece outside my window for now.

You are ABSOLUTELY right ... Upstate New York in the fall is one of the most beautiful sights.
So many times, people think of NY as just NYC (which of course is flattering, but completely inaccurate) ...
Similarly, there are gorgeous areas of New Jersey, its not all toxic waste dumps. I LOVE parts of Jersey.
