Nov 1st- A few of my favorite things...

~Watching November coming to Hanover Square and seeing a flock of starlings not being able to hide so well,

~Finding that the "extra" finial piece on the Syracuse Savings Bank Building is a peregrine falcon with a mate snacking nearby, and

~Spying a pigeon who seems to be glad he was not invited to dinner

Oct 31st- A few of my favorite things...

~Weeping beech turning shades of gold and bronze

~The edges of gingko leaves that have been grazed by a golden touch

~Basswood leaves a golden yellow against a gray sky

Oct 30th- A few of my favorite things...
