These photos of the gorgeous color in the Binghamton/Owego area of New York State should speak for themselves. Sometimes, words only take away from a story.
That's one of the beautiful things about blogging - it is visual, and you have these posts to look at when the seasons have moved on and fall is a distant memory.
For a lot of the United States, fall is a distant memory, with ice and snow already settled in. But, for us, we had a day yesterday of blue skies and temperatures near 60 F (15 C). This kind of day almost never happens here in November. I admired it from a chair in a dentist's office.
Fall color has lasted longer this fall than any fall I can remember in the nearly 30 years I've lived in upstate New York. I took these pictures over the last several days. Soon this will be a memory.
The glow comes partially from bright yellow trees, including this massive gingko tree in a historic neighborhood in Owego, New York.
Another gingko stands near the Susquehanna River in Owego.
And, last but not least, the glow of a fall sunset as seen through a maple tree on the West Side of Binghamton.
Today it rains. And tomorrow, our colder weather starts. It will be another season - the season of Letting Go.
More on that topic another time.
Welcome! I hope I bring a spot of calm and happiness into these uncertain times. I blog about my photography adventures, flowers, gardening, the importance of chocolate in a well lived life, or anything else on my mind.

Alana,
ReplyDeleteI've been too busy with a sick son to take any pictures for the past week, but I'm glad to admire yours. It was a glittering, sparkling, colorful fall here in Nebraska. Now it's 15 degrees with ice and snow on the ground. *sigh* But what a blessing to have photos to cheer us!
We do have skiff a snow in our yard. I'm waiting til it get up to the mid twenties before I go for a walk. Any way you look. at it..I'm going to have to bundle up
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Have only been to New York once in the fall, and it was so beautiful. I love seeing the colors change on the trees.
ReplyDeleteThat maple tree is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed visiting from #NaBloPoNo. I love the reds in the maple trees. It has been a beautiful November. Thanks for a lovely post!
ReplyDeleteNice photos Alana. I am beginning to realize more and more how much I love fall, at least on the clear days when the leaves are so much brighter and beautiful. ;) <3
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful--especially when you know everything is about to change. Never say die, but that's what it is. A death of sorts. Soon to spring to life with a whole new set of leaves.
