Photo Hunters: Low

What an interesting theme for this week! I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s photos for this one. As for me, it took some thought…..

The first thing that came to mind was the view from a waterfall– down beLOW. One of the most beautiful waterfalls I’ve seen is in Chittenango, NY. This is considered the waterfall “jewel of Central New York.” It is beautiful. You can read more about our trip to the Chittenango State Park here. And this post was also nominated to win the Road Trip Journal’s Reader’s Survey Award. I would just love it if you would take the two-question survey and vote for me! If I win, I get a $100 gas card! And one of you who votes for me will get one, too! Maybe you could take a minute or two and send me a vote?

Photo Hunters: Sad

It’s another dreary autumn day in Upstate New York. Temperatures have been hovering in the 40s and 50s, and it’s drizzled or rained all week. We are making lemonade out of lemons, though. We’ve been baking and cleaning. My daughter makes an awesome peach pie, and we’ve made two this week!

For Photo Hunters today, the theme is sad. I took this photo when we visited Fort Ontario a few autums ago. It’s an old burying site with graves of people who died during the French and Indian War in 1754, and a monument to the Unknown Soldiers. This photo certainly looks sad.
