A FAREWELL...

After more than three years of writing Corning NY Step By Step, I’ve decided it’s time for changes in my life. This is my last post on this blog, but I will leave it up on the Internet--for the time being-- so you can check back and view hundreds of photos of Corning NY.

I'll be leaving Corning NY Step By Step on Facebook for the time being and perhaps adding a photo now and then, but like I said, it's time to move on to new things.

Thanks to all of you who have followed me, and to my favorite blogger friends, I’ll still be following your blogs and commenting to stay in touch.

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!).

Corning NY December 2, 2013

Usually when I'm on vacation, I post photos of Maryland and Washington D.C. Which is where I vacation. Visiting family.

This time, however, I brought Corning photos with me on a flash drive. Time to use up miscellaneous pictures. All taken this year.

October 19... After deleting 7-8 similar pics, I couldn't decide between this one and the one above. So, you get both.

October 28... Taking photos from a hillside above the Patterson Bridge. Along came a man and his dog. Sweet dog once it calmed down and stopped trying to jump on me.

Again, I couldn't make a decision.

November 14... Bridge Street in the early evening. Traffic is heavy (for Corning) while the Patterson Bridge is closed (as in 'not there') and vehicles are detoured via Pulteney and Bridge Streets.

November 22... Misty morning. Corning Headquarters. Little Joe Tower. Towers on a Southside Hill in the background.

November 26... Taken from the second floor at Guthrie Clinic. YMCA across the street. Little Joe Tower in the background.

November 28... Sage in my garden. I pick and use all winter.

November 28...
Starlings, I think. They swoop from tree to tree in our neighborhood. A few days before leaving on vacation, I heard a loud sound go by my living room window several times. Looked outside and they were on the ground pecking and eating whatever it is they peck and eat. Every ten seconds or so, they'd swoop up into the sky, circle around and then come back down. Fascinating to watch.

Trees

I found over seventy pictures of trees in my collection of Corning photos. Don’t worry, I narrowed it down to nineteen, featuring close-ups, long distance shots and even stumps.

A tree is not “just a tree”…
