Now I have to tell you that traveling on back roads was instilled in me from an early age by my mother who has always loved taking the "scenic route". Going to Eastview Mall from Shortsville was never as quick as jumping on the Thruway. Oh heavens no! We almost always took Route 96 through Victor. Why? I guess there was just more to see for my mom. And nowadays, whenever possible, I enjoy taking the scenic route too (drives my sister crazy - she's more the get there as fast as you can type).
What does this have to do with starting a blog? Well...driving in some spectacular fog winding down Rte. 21 towards Naples, I thought about how many people associate New York with "the city" and have no idea about the beauty and charm of my New York.
So I thought I would start something and see where it took me. I'm developing my love of photography and hope to share that with you. Also, point out hidden spots that many people might not know about and have heard of. And sometimes this might just be a ode to a place that I miss. Very Much.
I hope to hear from you! I also hope that I find some of YOUR favorite spots in our neck of the woods.
Enjoy, relax and sip some fantastic Finger Lakes wine - I'll be back soon!
And now for the photos:
First, some scenes from a few wineries. The white building is Miles Wine Cellars and the one with the barrels is Knapp (I think!). The bottle tree was outside Glenora.

The next 2 photos were taken at Highland Park in Rochester during the Lilac Festival.
This is a must-see for anyone! Don't miss the beautiful greenhouse and the walk through the azaleas and rhododendrons.

The last four were taken at Canandaigua Lake - Kershaw Park. Also in view is the Canandaigua Lady, a tour boat.
