Fall Color from the Inner Harbor Area

 This is a few days ago - now we are having freezing rain!  I haven't had as much time for photography as I would like lately.  Happy to be busy in my business though.

North Syracuse Graveyard

This is the graveyard in North Syracuse.  It's right by my office.  I've been meaning to go out there and take some photos of it because the fall colors have been spectacular.  So yesterday I finally walked over there and realized that all I had was the camera on my phone!  I just took the one picture.  I think it turned out good for a camera phone.

The Bumpy Pumpkin

It's fall and the kitty statue on my back porch has a new friend.

I found this at a farmer's market held at a church on Genessee Street.  I'm not sure what their schedule is but I see them there sometimes and have always meant to stop.  So last week I did.

I got a lot of apples and way too many tomatoes.  I will have to make them into sauce and freeze it.

It's definitely the start of fall.  Here you can tell it by more than just the stores having black and orange Christmas trees for sale.  There is a nip in the air, trees are just starting to turn and it just feels different.   I'm not a big summer person and I suffer in hot weather so it's a relief to me.  I want Fall to last as long as possible.

Not Just Trees

It's not just the trees that change color in the fall. Ivy, hostas, bushes, hedges and shrubs do too.

It's Halloween and rainy. I never know how much candy to get. Last year I had to run out and get more candy but it was unseasonably warm. I didn't get that much this year and if we run out I'm just going to turn off the porch light. It's supposed to rain tonight and it's been rainy and stormy for a few days.

It's fall!

Yes, I have been neglecting my blog! I've been busy at work and busy at home too. I started painting again.

Fall is so lovely here, even this parking lot looks stunning.

Our office is moving to Little Italy and I like it a lot. It is the part of Syracuse that most feels like an old fashioned city with shops down below and apartments above. Its' in transition, with some empty storefronts, some fancy restaurants, and loft apartments.
