Beaver and Geese on the pond

 Last I saw this tree was standing.  It looks like a beaver may have finished what he started last spring.  Good to see since I have not seen any other beaver signs
Two Geese waiting  for the right time to move south.

Bird and Beast

 The King Fisher still around and looking for lunch
I was surprised to see this guy.  It is late Oct. but a warm day.  I haven't seen many snakes this summer and it was good to get one more Garter Snake

Fort Hill

It is a rainy day and the hunters are in the woods so we had to go to the top of Fort Hill (part of the local NY park).  This gate is to keep bicycles on one side but allow people to snake through.

A misty day in the Victor Park.

 Mallards that Grenville scared up.
The dry shadow of a maple leaf on the wet pathway.  The leaf must have blown away although it was misting but not very windy.

More dead leaves

 But first this hawk was enjoying breakfast at the side of the road when I went flying past.  Since he just watched as I past I turned around to get some pix of him.  Unfortunately he didn't stick around.
 Now back to the dead leaves in Boughton Park

Trip to Robert Treman SP

 My Camera club took a trip to Bob Treman State Park today.  That is why so many pix.  It's not my fault they made me do it.  This is the main power gear for the mill located on the upper parking lot.
 Water fall at the mill
 Part of the path - note: it is 2 mi. long and all the signs tell you it is 2 mi to the end regardless of how far you have walked.
 Part of a cascade
 The rest of the cascade




There were more falls, but we were sick and tired of the damn things so I didn't get any shot of them and by now you don't care either.

Ganondagon

 Wild Grapes which were just part of the crop on this vine.
 The cascade
This was one of several puff balls at Ganondagon.  The Quarter is just for scale these were about the size of a head.

Fall Foliage at Boughton Park

A little different look at fall colour
 It was an overcast fall day which brings out the saturated colours of fall.  This is not a finger lake but a
lake in the finger lakes.

Geocaching at "Jump off" Naples, NY

 This is Bristol Mtn ski resort at the far left.

 We were geocaching in around the Ontario county park known as Jump Off.  These pix were at the base of the hill.
