A street light and some long exposure time gave these photos their strange glow, no color enhancement necessary.  

It was a beautiful Western New York snowfall last night!

The image above is from the same collection, but I had some fun with it!

These photos are of "The Falls" at "The Glen", which is now a great place in the middle of "The Ville" for a leisurely stroll, 

some friendly conversation over your SPOT coffee, and hanging out with "The Ducks".  

But I remember going to Glen Park Casino & Amusement Park when I was ... oh ... around 5 or 6 – a  V E R Y  long time ago.

It was an always-crowded, small park down in the glen (of all places), between the falls and the red water mill, 

where my parents would take me to play Skeeball and ride the kiddie rides!

The Casino was built in the 40's, slightly before my time, housing a theater and restaurant.

I remember a huge fire destroying a nightclub on the property (the "Inferno") when I was 8 years old.  

I believe that a second fire in 1973 claimed the rest.

It doesn't look like much now, but it will be full of life again in the Spring.

It doesn't look like much now, but it was a protective home to many animals in it's time!

Trees are amazing things.  The two in these photos are in an ever-decreasing, rare wooded area in suburban Buffalo, NY.  

As little green space as we have remaining, the needless, senseless, conscious-less ground clearing and building continues.

According to the Arbor Day Foundation planting trees helps to fight Global Warming.

('Planetary Destabilization' seems to be the more accurate description, at this point.)

"As trees grow, they help stop global warming by removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.  While fighting global warming, trees provide many benefits to all of us, every day. They provide cooling shade, block cold winter winds, attract birds and wildlife, purify our air, prevent soil erosion, clean our water, and add grace and beauty to our homes and communities."

Learn more about Global Warming from the experts.  Then plant a tree and help to reduce your  carbon footprint!

It's a beautiful ride along the Alleghey River at any time of year, always scenic and full of surprises no matter the weather! 
Somewhere near the PA border around Bradford were a LOT of Herrons flying from tree to tree over the squiggly river, 
squaking loudly.  It's quite an obnoxious sound for such a beautiful animal!

... under cloudless blue skies, in the warm sunshine, soaking in another picture-perfect 
Fall day in Buffalo.  In an effort to take full advantage of the extra hour I was awarded, 
I went for an early AM walk, 'tanned'on the deck, rode my bike and strolled around the ponds, all the while mindlessly contemplating nothing.

And as fast as it began, the weekend has come to an end.

Time flies when you're getting old.
