Fall Colors [Orange You Glad It’s Friday]

By Shattman

   Yesterday, Rosemarie and I took a drive south to Bristol Mountain and also along Canandaigua Lake to see how the Fall Colors were progressing. Considering that our neighbor’s tree was nearing its peak [top image], we were optimistic, notwithstanding the gray skies and intermittent rain. As you can see from the pics, we were not disappointed! 
   I guess this must be a red maple.
   This is the ski lift, shot from the parking lot at Bristol Mtn.
   This detail was from across the road in front of the parking lot.

   These were from two different locations along the west shore of Canandaigua Lake.
 We were heading back home on Rte. 12N [or had we already reached Rte. 21N?], when this unique tree formation suddenly appeared. I hit the brakes and got out; there was no driving by without stopping to shoot.
