I Spent three week in Upstate New York.   It wasn't a holiday. Sadly I had to go home for my Dads funeral.  It was a sad time but a happy time as well.   Spending time with my family going through old pictures reminiscing about old times.

The foliage was stunning,  I haven't been back this time of year in many years.  I saw this tree while I was there.  And I thought, this one is for you dad,  Outstanding in you own field!
