I took a short notice trip to my childhood home in upstate New York in late September - early October. Its my favorite time of year here and Birch trees are my favorite to photograph. I took these photographs at Colgate University just 5 miles from my mothers home. As a small boy I fished in this lake using a spaghetti noodle for bait. I don't ever remember catching anything, but what great memories.
Pleasant childhood memories are treasures. Mine were formed not far from where you grew up (Rochester). It's a joy to visit a scene from one's childhood and reminisce.
