It was a lovely day spent away from the office and on the road driving around my favorite places in the Fingerlakes. Some might say that autumn is full of gloom, dark skies and fickle temperatures. For me it is my favorite time of the year. Nature is singing her swan song, birds are migrating full of song and from one year to the next you never know what the color of the season will be. This year we were fortunate to have great swaths of yellows and oranges, which are my favorite fall shades.
