I took a nice jaunt to Losson Park in Cheektowaga and loved it. You could really lose yourself in nature. And I was willing.

Chasing WaterfallsCategory: random
Unplugged for a nice long weekend and spent a pretty perfect Sunday meandering the falls in Watkins Glen. I took a lot of lousy pictures but got a few good ones too

Watkins Glen is amazing. I took a trip there over Columbus Day weekend. Really beautiful. Some of the wineries on Seneca Lake (well, really only two that we found: Hermann J. Wiemer and Fox Run) have come a long way in recent years and are producing some really drinkable wines these days. Plus, you can't beat the fall foliage in that part of Western New York in October.

About three hours from here, Paul, just 8 bucks for a car load, great times, climbing the stairs, and enjoying the mist.

That boring CBS show, Sunday Morning, is usually on my TV most weekends. At the end, they have a segment called 'Moment of Nature," where for about a minute they just show some videographic images of wilderness somewhere in the world. They don't edit it much, so you can hear things like water falling, snowflakes falling, animals walking around, etc. And they usually show some animals walking around too. Yesterday, they featured Java, NY (near Arcade, I think) and it looked something like this. Pine trees filled with snow, and deer walking around them. Really simple and beautiful. And nice to see something on national TV that's filmed close to my hometown on the other (even more rustic) side of Arcade.
