Fall Colors Across New York State
Photographs by Tom Trencansky, Dryden, NY

There are four seasons in New York State  . . . . but the shortest season of all is that of fall.  
The trees begin to change color and, in what seems the briefest of time, the leaves
 are gone,  just before the gloom and sometimes, dismal shades of winter move in.

Fall is a special time in which sunshine, trains and ideal fall colors 
rarely match a person's available free time.  A time of frustration.
So, good views are rare and so much more memorable.
