With limited time, we visited local foliage in person, and tackled the farther out places via the internet. Our trip took us to the north end of Keuka Lake in The Finger Lakes Region of New York. The above photo is a view of the foliage lined Keuka Lake. With the rolling cycle of seasons, autumn is special for people who appreciate foliage. Most people are greatly moved by the splendor of wonderful foliage.
Autumn announces the arrival of apples when they blush red and fill with tart, tangy juices.
We stood staring as the leaves fell from the trees like small parachutes, and when the wind blew, they swirled like tiny dancers. Feona and I watched those lovely leaves dancing in the wind, then wafting like feathers as they fell. At one lookout point, we viewed and photographed the foliage. It is with nostalgic pleasure to think of the many people who came before us to admire these same trees when the leaves turned burnt orange and russet. We stood in awe as I'm sure they once did.
