Last night the temperature dropped and we got our first frost. The annual #UpstateNY game of "Who will cave and turn the heat on first" has officially begun.

I'm pretty sure that Beebee lake has the best developed fall color of anywhere on campus right now

The bottom of the frame is a lake with ripples running left to right, above that rises a forest of various colored trees with yellow, orange, red and green well represented and blue sky with clouds above

Going back a month to our #Adirondacks vacation – one of the best-built trails I've ever seen, the Powerhouse Trail for historic Camp Sagamore in the vicinity of Raquette Lake #trail #trails #hiking #Adirondack #UpstateNY #UpstateNewYork

A trail through the woods, lined with round logs and occasionally broken with stone channels that allow streams to pass through the trail without swamping it.

I just learned about an Adaptive Paddling and Cycling Co in Upstate NY from a relative! They rent adaptive equipment for use on the canal (trails etc) and have locations in Fairport, Lockport and Montezuma New York.

I wish their website had more information, but they look cool. My fam says they're Service Animal friendly, and have lots of free parking.

image of a paddling boat in an adaptive dock. The boat (kayak-like, but more open body) is just above the water in struts which looks like it holds it steady. and there are grab bars along the boat size and multiple metal contraptions I don't understand overhead but look weight bearing, and perhaps could be used for attaching the wheelchair transfer I saw on their website? There's also a set of metal steps with a sturdy railing, perhaps as an alternative to the ramp? Three humans are about to get in the boat. The canal is somewhat backlit, wide and textured. the sky is partly cloudy with whispy clouds.

I think a 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme driving out of the Little York Car Show

Boxy car drives forward and to the right in harsh sunlight with other cars parked behind it,  often with trunks open or accompanied by tents.

Relief sculpture of rays of sunlight, a book, clouds and the kind of lamp that a genie lives in from the Newark Valley Central School

A little bit more of a quarter circle in the upper right corner represents the sun with rays of light represented as hewn stone with shadow between the ways and at the irregular ends,  to the lower left is a (I think) I cloud represented as four quasi-spherical lumps and a mieddle eastern oil lamp rests on top of a book fastened with straps.

Three flowers with thin with petals and orange discs in the center are fully developed and surround by some others that have either already bloomed or are abount to.  They rise out of a stem which has a few small leaves right under the flowers and then three big ones below.  Behind it is a sea of similar dull green vegetation which is blurred out.

Path through the ferns in Shindagin Hollow State Forest

A path runs straight up the center of the frame with a lot of twig fragments and pine needles surrounded by an understory of ferns on both sides,  the closest stems look kind like pine to me but further away seems to be mostly deciduous leaves

Some friends need a month-to-month rental in Rensselaer County, NY to fill the gap between having sold their house and being able to move into the new one. This is a family of six (teenaged kids) with a service dog. If you have any leads on an appropriate space, please DM me. Thanks!

Boosts and hashtag suggestions most welcome.

Row of classic cars with their hoods open at a September car show at Little York Lake

About five cars in a row from the lower center towards the far right with their hoods open more generally surrounded by cars, tents and trees under an unsettled sky.

Runner at the Thom B Classic in Hammond Hill State Forest this fall

Man running with medium length hair flying up,  he's wearing a light blue plastic hoodie and black shorts with a bib number 148,  his left (your right) foot is solidly on the ground and the right left bent back.  He's in the middle of a singletrack in a young forest with leaves that just sprouted and there are a few splashes of pink from signage.

Vendor at the flea market at the car show we went to at Dwyer Memorial Park

A square frame with a man's head and one shoulder filling the lower left 1/2 of the frame;  he's wearing a white t-shirt,  is holding his left (your right) hand to his throat,  has a white beard and mustache and is wearing glasses and looking towards the upper left.  He's wearing a dark villed gap that says VIETNAM VETERAN in yellow and has a set of army stripes in between the words.  Behind him the hood of a vehicle is open and a blurred out forest floor can be seen to the upper left.

Alfalfa Field where we parked for Sunday's Car Show in Little York, NY showing the kind of hill that the glaciers shaped all over upstate NY

Wide angle photo of a big field with a carpet for short green alfalfa,  there is a pickup truck that looks tiny to the far left,  the horizon is near the center,  to the left there is hillside covered with trees,  to the right a patchy hedgerow,  above a dramatic sky filled with large cumulus clouds.

Joe Pye Weed by the pond north of Dwyer Memorial Park a bit north of Little York, NY

Joe Pye Weed Comes Up from the Lower Right Corner and Has 4 Clusters of Leaves that Come Out before it bifurcates multiple times into purple flowers,  behind it find a pond where you can see little crevasses on the muddy bottom that gets blurrier as you get further away.
