Fall Foliage in Western NY

Here are a few pics from the last weekend up at my cabin. Nature at its best...

Beautiful pictures! I lived in Syracuse, NY for 8 years and I miss the brilliant fall colors of upstate new york. I don't miss the winter weather as much though. Thanks for posting them. - Mike

Great pictures, thanks for posting. Your red colors look very brilliant this year.

Sad to say but it turns pretty ugly very quickly when all the leaves drop. From the most beautiful time of the year to the ugliest [for me anyways] in just a few weeks.. Sure do love the colors though when they are like that. Pretty soon only one other color to look at. WHITE snow!!! It'll be here before we know it....

Simply Beatuful!!!

Thanks for sharing. I like where I live, but I sure would love to have some hills around here. Sometimes, flat is just kind of boring.

I live in upstate ny and my leaves are just about gone. Last week they were all beautiful orange and reds.
It is gonna get cold tonight had to start the wood stove. Wasnt planning on starting until at least november.
Calling for rain tuesday and cold temps tuesday night and wednesday so I would think snow would be out of the questions.

I think the cold stuff is coming quick. Amazing how fast the seasons change. It is really nice to experience the 4 seasons though. Especially in the fall with all the colors and after a newly fallen snow in the winter without a footprint or mark in the landscape. Those are the sights to behold!!

I agree. I really don't understand why anyone would want to live anywhere else. Four seasons, no hurricanes, tornadoes are extremely rare. Best summers anywhere and when it snows like crazy... well, for the most part, the houses are still standing. With a little luck you can get stranded at home and relax by the wood stove for a day or two.

Probably too late now Steve.

Spent a couple of days at the lake cutting firewood and making a stone planter by the lake instead.

I don't know of anyone who lived in Syracuse (or north of there) who misses the winter.

Can you say "lake effect snow"?

I just wonder if the Nedrows still burn cars off their exit in protest of whatever they always seemed to be protesting about

Don't want to hi jack but had to respond to Sigarms.
I Haven't seen any cars burning lately just tires, they make more smoke. They are about due to protest something again. The state wants them to pay taxes on the cigs they sell to non Indians. And yes I'm in the snow belt 20 mi. north of Syr. That's why I have a tractor w/ loader and 4x4 vehicles for winter use.
