I love going to Onondaga County to do and see several things. As I was driving down the hill on Rt. 20 going west from LaFayette to Cardiff - one very steep hill - I took some photos. This one is near the top of the hill, going down the part where it isn’t too steep - yet:

Here I am about 1/3 of the way down the hill:
Please excuse the blue windshield at the top. Here I am about 1/2 way down the hill:

This hill just continues forever. It’s not very nice on the vehicle brakes. I didn’t capture a photo at the bottom looking up at the hills - they’re wonderful - maybe another day! I’ll have to stop and get out - it’s very tricky at the bottom because the road curves.
Another thing I love is the South Onondaga Cemetery because several of my family members are buried there, it’s out in the country, I like doing genealogy, and I love the very old trees there. These are all Sugar Maples, and they are absolutely gorgeous in the fall:
Here’s another very old Sugar Maple:
This garden dedicated to Harold Abbott has been added near the rear of the cemetery:
Harold Abbott lived in South Onondaga and was the caretaker of the cemetery for many years until he died just recently.

Yup, I love this county. As I was driving along today I saw several trees just starting to turn color. Very pretty! I love fall, almost as much as spring and summer!

I couldn’t believe it when I saw a tree that was completely yellow today! Does it not know that it’s still August???

Wow! Poor trees, they’ve got the signal to send their sugars to the roots with the cool August weather, and now it will probably warm up in September.
