Having now discovered the Finger Lakes region, I'm singing a different tune. It's beautiful here. Rural country with oases of culture. I went to Watkins Glen twice recently and am now in Hammondsport. The Finger Lakes region has the most wineries in the State, over 100 vineyards. Land surrounding the lakes is perfect for growing wine-grapes.
Hammondsport is at the bottom of Keuka Lake (pronounced "kew-ka"). It's the Finger Lake in the middle with five lakes to the east, five lakes to the west.
Here's a picture I took yesterday...
How beautiful, Ally! xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely! How fun to explore your area more.
ReplyDeleteBoth sons stayed near where they went to college. I have one in Plattsburg and the other in Ithaca. The Ithaca son ran a winery for a few years and knows the Finger Lake Wine trail like the back of his hand. His girlfriend's family has a 1/3 share of a lake house on Keuka that is a great place to go. Right on the water. I know about what you speak. Watkins Glen is a great place and the Montour falls are well worth a visit. There are so many pretty waterfalls throughout the area.
ReplyDeleteI'm staying at an inn right on the water and today circled entire Keuka Lake, admiring the lake houses. Stopped at a State Park with a beach on the lake. Lovely place. I'll be back to this region again.
DeleteNow is such a great time to discover (or rediscover) nature. I envy everyone's adventures into the great outdoors (and perhaps scratch a bit at the idea). Still, enjoying lovely pictures through my friend's lens is a perfect way of enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at lake. I pretty much love anything having to do with water. Weird that I'm an Earth sign...
ReplyDeleteJust look at that beguiling serenity and the way a million diamonds seem to waltz across the water's surface. What a gorgeous sight, Ally. Thank you very much for taking us along with you.
