The drought is over, and the leaves finally changed colors. I'm not sure how they were affected by the dryness, or by the unusually wet spring, but we got some fine displays of pigment.
A new building at Cornell provided a backdrop to a tree that used to shade the outfield for the baseball team.
I used to work for Joan Sears at this house. These decorations are not left over from her time there.
A bush that survived the restoration of McGraw Tower at Cornell. They have planted the other beds that were the location of the scaffolding.
Out in Caroline, the leaves came down a couple weeks ahead of the city. We made more progress on extending the rail trail beyond Banks Road.
I got to the 30' Reservoir for peak color, but couldn't stay long enough to get better light on the trees. Maybe next year.
Ithaca Falls as the color came on and the rains returned.
Six Mile Creek from the pedestrian bridge. I'm fortunate to just about get a daily view of this.
Beebe Lake always has a few spectacular-light mornings in the fall. Not quite on my way to work, but not too far out of the way either.
Sometimes I even have time to go around it.
And a regular visit up McGraw Tower for a chimes concert is worth the effort and time.
