Beautiful Fall in Upstate NY



Just a few of the reasons I love where I live!!!!
It's funny, but as a kid, I just never realized that EVERYWHERE didn't have fall, with the amazing colors and hues of the changing leaves each year. When I first found that out, I was shocked and amazed! How can that be??

Amazing though it was to me at that time, I still find myself in awe of the season of autumn in the northeast. This year was especially vibrant and colorful, with bright reds, glowing oranges, and beautiful yellows in every shade wherever you look.

We live nestled in the beautiful Finger lakes of Upstate NY. I love it here! From the senic trails, to the abundance of lakes and parks..it's truly a beautiful area to live in, or even to drive through! We have a "Wine trail" area that runs the length of the lake from town to town here, and many many tourists come thru each year, and I'm sure it's not JUST the wineries! I'm sure part of it, is the beautiful scenery! I can't imagine living somewhere where the leaves just turn brown and drop!!! You'd miss the best part of fall!!!

Let's see! Leaf-stuffed scarecrows! Pumpkin face leaf bags! Giant piles of colorful leaves to jump in with your friends! leaf pile forts!! And of course, the ever popular leaf prints, pressed leaves, and leaf collages!!!
