Beautiful fall shots and colours -- all of them! Here is another Greene County connection with Niagra, very similar to the church in your photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/83372564@N00/2715956264/

As always, your pics are amazing. I know that you do not want your pics hijacked, but can't you do something else smaller to your pics instead of the banner that you put across them? The text you have have kills the value of the pic,IMO. Just my thoughts. Kurt

Definitely looks tranquil. I see you posted pics of the monkey puzzle pine (after someone requested that). There's that hydrangea bloom still hanging on as well (a surprise to me, in contrast with the roses, which I'd expect would be blooming until a hard freeze)! Anyway, nice pics!

IT was another incredible day to be sure and not touristy because that season is mostly over (weekends can be dicey). Yes the Monkey puzzle had to be included. I missed it when I did some side street detours the first time. 9i had pics from other seasons but hey...). Quite a few hydrangeas still in bloom... they tend to produce secondary blooms mid to late season. One cultivar is named for it ... 'Endless summer' but this is not that one. Thanks Brandt. Gotta get the pics while the season is on!

Thanks Kurt. One day I will probably produce a commercial DVD set on Niagara and environs and seasons from the many many hours and logged hours on my car and very expensive camera equipment so I prefer to keep the pics as my own till then. We upload them on photosites that SELL them... I am glad to share to an extent.

Thanks Tom. Nice to have the colour still hanging on with some of it having started with the early sumac so long ago. Interesting building to be sure... but some might have issues with your comparing a jail building to an Episcopalian church? I know....

Thanks Lisa. I thought someone might like that Carriage (gotta have the variety in a pic post right?). The sunset capped a beautiful day.

Oh, I don't know. Both should be concerned about justice, and my three boys often compare going to church with a prison sentence!

It's like taking a walk in the fall,through a nice tree-lined neighborhood.We have tree-lined streets here,but they're slightly different.Pretty much one color here-just green.Still waiting for it to get cold there,so it can cool down a little here.Humidity still high,but should drop soon.Maybe I'll look at those shots once more,stick my head in the freezer,and that will complete my quickie trip to Canada.

Thanks Chuck. I have been to the Caribbean several times so I hear you about the different nature of tree lined streets there. Perhaps you could do half of what you suggested? YOUR CHOICE! Sorry we are being selfish enjoying the mild spells. It was a great weekend to air out the house and hang out laudry and go taking pics. DID a whole lot of bird shots today. Mike

So many nice colors. Really like the graveyard pictures. Love the sunsets and the grass plums. The foliage still looks great and has so much deep color. I wish we could put music with these shots.

Thanks Tommy. Did you see that Lee is buried here? I thought someone might comment on that in general... where is Lee buried... sorry. I did not even notice that until I got home. Well the proof is in the microclimates... I see that the gingkos I posted were at the same stage as the ones George GA posted at the same time. The south shore of Lake Ontario does provide a lot of opportunity for microclimates... I am serioulsy considering putting my five years of over 100k digital pics into some DVD format for commercial sale.... but I think I will let people add their own music simply by turning on their stereos... I like Vivaldi's four seasons for the season pics but that is too easy. Mike

You should do it. Why not? It's a talent and you can make the best of it. And what is this about General Lee? What is the story behind that?

Thanks Mark. I think it was damaged four or five years ago but recovered well. I just bought two small ones and sunk them in their containers for the winter... here is hoping... Mike

Very nice Mike! Your yard and area look very freeze free thus far. Nogales, Sonora and AZ have already had a freeze. We almost had a super early freeze at the end of October. People in southern AZ should send there plants to southern CN for fall comfort! Excellent pictures, thank you!

Thanks Lee. Been enjoying the warmth these last few days but that is drawing to a close. Oh well... it was fun while it lasted and made for more pleasant leaf raking and bird and leaf photography!
