After living for 20 of my 32 years in New York, I’ve learned the only two really acceptable times of year weather-wise are about two weeks each May and two weeks each September. Hence my trips back home tend to end up in one of these two months. This time around I didn’t photograph too much, to be quite honest, as I was more enjoying time spent with family and friends. However, one cannot go to Rochester’s Lilac Festival or Niagara Falls without taking some photos, so here’s a couple samples from the trip. Click on the photos below to see more.
