The Erie Canal has some of the sweetest little towns
running along side of it... Our town celebrates its history
running along side of it... Our town celebrates its history
throughout the year...
We celebrate its quiet beauty everyday!

A few snapshots before the mist cleared...
New York State blue and gold...
Just love those colors on the tug boats!
Metal bridges for auto traffic...

The path is filled with bright red rose hips...

The canal path connects town after town...
The canal path connects town after town...
Wide enough for an automobile, but motorized vehicles
are prohibited... we walk, bike... skip... run... sit.
The cool temps have the Canada Geese on the move...
If only from pond to pond...
This pair is off from the V formation a little...
Perhaps they're distracted by the beautiful foliage~

Or they're planning afternoon tea...
Their honk-honk-honk is a welcome sound~
Hope your day is perfect!

Hi Michelle,
These are such lovely photos! I especially like the second one for some reason. Maybe it's the stillness of the water and the clarity of the reflection - just beautiful colors and scenery.
Thanks for the trip!

I have to tell you that all of my life I have been intrigued with the Erie Canal. It could be because of the song, but the engineering of it always amazed me. Thank you so much for showing pictures of it. I have always wanted to see it. "15 miles on the Erie canal," Now it will be going on in me head all day. Thanks so much I love the blue.
Michelle these are such lovely photos and it is so heartwarming to hear how much you love where you live and treasure the history and breathlessness of it all. Happy Autumn...
