Friday the 13th ~ December 2013

Mixing and matching again. Still on vacation and brought this collection of photos with me to post. Several from one year ago. The rest from October to December of this year. I love the colors of the fall leaves. They seemed to me to have changed so fast this year.

A dog walking its owner along the dike. Southside hill in the background.

Park at the end of Hillvue Drive. I wonder how many people know it’s there.

Fall leaves in the park.

Can never have too many pictures of Little Joe and the Bridge Street bridge.

Renovations started on Bridge Street buildings in late October. Can’t wait to see what changes have be made by the time I return.

Walking through Riverfront Park, just off Centerway Square.

Last afternoon sky over Corning NY.

I hear it’s quite cold in Corning right now. Still, I’m looking forward to being home (even if it is 10-15 degrees warmer here in Maryland!).

India Day 2013

Well, I just had the greatest weekend. Mostly on Saturday, which was India Day here in Corning NY. Each year STICA, the Southern Tier India Cultural Association ~ a non-profit organization devoted to building bridges across cultures ~ sponsors this colorful celebration in Centerway Square.

Before we continue... Corning NY Step by Step is back up on Facebook. I took it down some time ago because my FB account got hacked and I had to start everything over (my personal FB page, CNYSBS and the page I had for Step by Step in the Kitchen--that one is not back up yet). Please come visit my FB page and LIKE Corning NY Step by Step! I'll be posting to let you know when there is a new blog entry. Plus I'll be adding extra pictures of Corning that don't make it to the blog.


Featured throughout the event were readings, music, dance, fashion shows and food. The food is one of my favorite parts of the day. Imagine a plateful of Pakoda, Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Makhani, Chole, Matar Paneer, Dal Makhani, Potato Subji, Naan, Rice, Pickle, Raitha and for dessert, Gulab Jamun.

The ladies presented Zumba with an India touch. A subsequent number featured Bollywood music.

The little ones steal the show...

In a nearby park, an entire family gathered for lunch...

Did you remember to click on each pic to enlarge it? I love being able to see the details up close.
