The leaves are starting to fall

Headed to Vermont. It was a beautiful drive. The leaves are awesome. It’s supposed to rain most of tomorrow so not sure if the leaves will last. Stay tuned






Two views of the same tree. We stopped at Merck Forest We have not been there in years but it’s such a beautiful day and the views are great
Foggy morning but it turned into a beautiful day. We drove alongside of lake George and then headed to Fort Ticonderoga. We both remember being there as kids. Then we drove to Crown Point and then took a long drive back to Saratoga on a lot of country roads. The scenery was beautiful.
The only downside was we left one of our cameras in the hotel and the one we left in the SUV had a dead battery so we had to rely on our iPhones
The sun came out and it was a beautiful day Stopped at Saratoga Spa state park. We were happy to see that the rain and wind did not knock down all the leaves The park is 2.379 acres and it contains lots of trails, the performing arts center, picnic ares and lots of other amenities. There is a beautiful fall display at the entrance to the park. I was lucky enough to talk to one of the state employees who told me that her and her boss start working on the display in mid September. This is just part of the beautiful display
According to Wikipedia There was a belief that the waters of Saratoga held healing properties that led to construction of spas snd health centers that would cater to local tourism and health industries. At the height of this bottling frenzy in the early 1900s there were more than 200 private wells tapping into Saratoga mineral springs



It rained most of the way to Saratoga Springs but the color on the trees in New York is awesome. Hopefully we can get some good pictures tomorrow or the next day but weather forecast calls for more rain and wind is supposed to pick up

Spotted two eagles on our afternoon walk. One is on shore and one is in the water. This is the best shot I could get with my I phone. We are so lucky to have all this wildlife in our back yard

Beautiful day today. No clouds and just a little color. Workers trimmed the flowers and weeds around the pond so it may get make it easier to take a photo if the heron shows up

Spotted on our morning walk. If you look closely you can see the heron by the shore

Blue whale swimming in a sea of clouds

Tonight’s sunset. Every year I am amazed at how much the sun moves.

Spotted on my afternoon bike ride. Took it with my iPhone so it’s not real sharp
