My husband and I just returned from a one week road trip to Rochester, New York. We spent a lot of time with family there.
Prior to New York we were in Texas, so we have seen a lot of country and slept in a lot of different places. I feel like I could sleep for a year now.
I need to be brief, but please enjoy some sights from our trip. New York is very beautiful.

Letchworth State Park is known as the "Grand Canyon of the East" and it was a sight. I was born in New York and had visited there many times over the years, but this was the first time in this amazing park. We want to go back and do some extensive hiking.

Notice the people in the waterfall picture and you will have an idea of the size of this fall. The mist always gives a rainbow on sunny days. Truly magical!

After leaving New York, we took a slightly longer route home to Louisville, Kentucky to stay at
The Inn at the Park. The inspiration in such an old place is abundant and I always find myself thankful for digital cameras...I can just snap away. It is places like these that lend a lot of inspiration for my room paintings.

Dear Lisa - first your painting of the Slippers in the Pink Room is wonderful and then your photos are so gorgeous too. Isn't it true that when we vacation we so often need to come home to rest up! Hope you are getting some now. Thank you for sharing your pictures. That waterfall is amazing. Hugs!

ReplyDeleteHi Joanie, glad you enjoyed! I woke this morning to find this post and your comment in my email. Did it you receive it in your email too? It's like it reposted on it's own. How strange.
