Sunrise Seneca Lake October 18, 2015 |
This morning, for instance, I am watching the sunrise behind the hills as the world wakes. The colors are building as the dawn creeps closer and I can see autos driving along the roads across the lake from me.

Soon the trees will be naked and stark in preparation for the harvest celebrations and the winter ahead.
Geese over Seneca Lake October 17, 2015 |
The lake was calm and the sky clear blue as I stood there. I wished, as I always do, that I could experience flight the way that they do. Together in a flock working together against the elements not even aware of the laws of flight working to keep them in the air. They are just free and flying.
I admit, I have seen the lake slate gray and cold as well, although I did not take an image of it. It was a foreboding sight.
I have appreciated this long weekend because I have reconnected with the scenic beauty of upstate New York and enjoyed one last visit before the harshness of the dark season begins.
