The Arboretum, a part of the botanic gardens, is beautiful this time of year. While flowers aren’t the main display, the trees make a run for their money with the bright and many shades of reds, oranges, yellows and greens. Come in the evening and make your way to the overlook for a perfect view of sunset. #mybackyard

Thanks to trover Members I'm now lost in Ithaca NY and area exploring and hiking in areas so beautiful beyond words. Today I hiked Watkins Glen and Buttermilk Falls.
