Hudson Sights... fall finally arrives in November!
Well, it took awhile but we finally have fall color. After the warmest October on record (actually, I think it is a tie with 1947), we finally got some cooler weather. I headed up the Hudson line, past the very scenic Palisade and gorgeous clumps of fall foliage on the West side of the river and arrived in Ossining, New York around 11:30 am. Aunt Evelyn picked me up and we headed up to Bear Mountain State Park. The color was lovely but the winds were a bit chilly. We did a bit of walking around the main lodge and park, watched kids enjoy a ride on the indoor carousel, a few folks skating, and Evelyn tried to find the remnants of the ski jump but only the stairs and railing remain, the jump and clearing now covered thickly with trees. Perkins Tower was closed due to snow and ice. We drove into Harriman Park along Seven Lakes Drive and ran into a snowman, a red tailed hawk and several deer. Beautiful day! So nice to get out of the city for a change.
