Merry Month of May

Since the month was unusually cold, I found myself continuing to walk a few hours most mornings rather than freeze on my bike.  One day I took a stroll past several of my favorite spots in local gorges, starting with the First Dam area of Six Mile Creek.  The first picture is of a cherry tree I loved to see bloom every year because the road passed the top of it and the early white blooms contrasted nicely with the bare trees surrounding it.  It was a shock to see it had blown over sometime recently, but two branches still put out blossoms.

Collegetown should have been swarming with activity on this day before graduation weekend.  Instead, I strolled down the middle of Dryden Rd. and got any angle I wanted for my pictures.

Cascadilla Gorge is still closed, probably will be for the summer I think, but there are still views to be had of some of the waterfalls before the leaves come out.

Ithaca Falls always has nice views, no matter the time of year.
