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

Fall ain't dead yet ...

 Most of the colour is going fast but some Maples and Aspen are just coming out.

 A grove of Aspen

A cemetery which has been abandon for years is being cleared and opened up. 

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.

West River, NY

 When go to the boat launch this group were departing

 

Not sure what this is could be a Snapping Turtle or Muskrat.

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

Canadice Lake NY

Stid Hill South

 The bridge at the trail head.

The view back across the road at Bristol Mtn.

Woodpecker and Oak

 A Downey Woodpecker is getting easier to see now that the leaves are falling off the trees

I love the two-tone effect.

Back in the West River So. of Canandiagua Lake

 The Gov't boat launch

Wood duck we stirrup up.

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.

Sun and Autumn

 This was all of the sun we had today.

 Autumn is here so I am going to bore you with more pictures of it.

Get used to it.

Bristol NY not UK

 The water is flowing well off Hi Tor in Naples, NY

Bristol Ski Mtn. is all groomed and ready for the winter season.  Sunday this parking lot was full to capacity with people going to the top for the view.

Milkweed an foliage

 A drowned milkweed seed.

I just kinda like this don't know why.

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.
