Trip to Letchworth State Park.....looking for color,

Today was an absolutely awesome perfect weather day in western New York.   The leaves are turning, but aren't at peak quite yet.   Here are a few of only 268 photos I took today!    Some of my favorites while looking for color!

The Middle Falls

Upper Falls....a different angle than I usually photograph.   Might be my favorite

.

The dam at the Mt. Morris entrance,   Some of us remember the great flood in 1972 when the water came within inches of spilling over the top.   Amazing to think about but pretty frightening then.

I managed to get a rainbow at the fountain at the Glen Iris Inn,

Love the color in this,

Wolf Creek....one of my favorite spots.

The trestle bridge....perhaps an inspiration for a "lines and angles" quilt challenge.

The brave soul on the bridge today.   This is, by the way, illegal.

Hibiscus overload.

Here in western New York we are enjoying a beautiful end of summer day!    This is my hardy perennial hibiscus.   It has been very prolific this year (apparently it likes a lot of water).   The flowers are always huge....easily 6 inches across and sometimes 8 inches.   As you can see..... The flowers seem as big as the whole shrub!!!!!
