I spent a majority of today on The Greater Ithaca Art Trail. This weekend and next weekend – October 10/11 and October 17/18 – 53 different art studios will open their doors to the public. I strategically planned my day but wish I had more hours. I started my day in Groton, NY at Thou… Continue reading The Greater Ithaca Art Trail
I have been trying and trying to hit a good day for taking pictures of the fall colors. Today, as I headed out on my seven mile plus run, the leaves were more beautiful than I had seen yet this autumn. It was sunny. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera with me.

A few clicks of the mouse! There… Continue reading Personalizing My Blog
