I recently took a trip to NY to attend my uncle’s funeral. I drove through lots of rain and some very impressive cloud formations. The further east I drove in NY, the more the leaves had turned. They too, have had a warm fall, so I suspect the leaves will not be as dramatic this year as usual.

I stopped at my favorite Rest Stop – the Chautauqua Rest Stop.

They even had espresso in the vending machine – not too shabby.

Here’s one of me with Lake Chautauqua in the background.

Here is one where the sun is breaking through the clouds to form a spotlight on the lake.
