Cayuga Lake from the south rim of Taughannock Gorge, seen through a veil of hemlock with a carpet of fallen oak leaves, foreground. This is a companion to the previous post, both were handheld. For this the foreground was included to increase interest. For added stability, I rested the camera body on the fence bracketed with my fingers.

Hello Michael,
I agree, simply delightful. Autumn must be so beautiful in Ithaca.
We still remember our visit to Sapsucker Woods as if it was yesterday.
We’ll be sending an email update soon. Please give our regards to your wife (and grandchildren too – we miss them).
