Our Waterfalls and Wine Tour
Five years ago this month, my wife Trudy and I hit the road for upstate New York — and we encountered waterfalls and wine at every turn! First, we traveled to the village of Westfield, heart of the oldest (and still second largest) wine-producing region in the U.S. It’s also where my great-great grandparents immigrated to nearly two hundred years ago. After Westfield, we visited breathtaking Niagara Falls, America’s oldest national park, and briefly Buffalo. Then on to beautiful Seneca Lake (also known for its vineyards), and finally down to Watkins Glen at the base of Seneca Lake — where my great grandparents lived. We visited one final waterfall in the Cuyahoga Valley on our way home.

מעיניין!
Doug and I did a similar drive many years ago. Ours started in the Niagara wine region on this side of the border!🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️
Our pictures were on film, not nearby as good and totally abandoned in some photo album somewhere.

Nothing like imagining a waterfall with wine spilling over the sides,
;>)
I pass by the region often on my way up to Toronto. Your gorgeous photos are a reminder that I should extend my trip and spend some time with the falls and vineyards.
🧡
You were within half an hour of where my latest story obsession takes place, Painted Post, with several Seneca references and characters in them, plus (can you believe it) coondogs! (The Ryland Creek Saga by Joseph Gary Crance, an area native.)
!!!
Beautifully composed images of Niagara Falls and the area. The clouds and water angles are dynamic-simply gorgeous. Your pictures bring back fond memories. Michael and I honeymooned in Niagara Falls and Toronto. 🙂
Thank you, Nancy. And happy to trigger romantic memories❣
Love your wife’s Niagara US photos. We did the Canadian side of the Falls, but didn’t build into our stay the US side. Regret that.
And we, on the other hand, would have loved to see the Canadian side!
Beautiful pictures! The northeast has a certain charm this time of year. That charm however is short-lived come winter! Brrr..🥶
Thank you, Scott. And right you are!
Lovely!
Thank you, Tere!
My maternal grandfather came to America from Poland. He lived in New York State before moving to Nevada years later.
Wonderful trip!
It was indeed, Geoff.

Great photos from very familiar places near where I live in Ithaca.
🧡
Oooh a beautiful trip! We went last year to Watkins Glen and chased waterfalls all over the area. So fun!
Watkins Glen holds a special place in my heart as we went there camping every summer when I was a child. 😊
How cool, Carolyn!
😊
All these waterfall photos are like a painting by nature, such stunning pictures!
Enjoyed these! 😁
Incredible photos!!
Thank you, Daisy. 🧡
A fantastic display of beautiful landscapes and life. Though I will say I thought I was looking at Bob Ross paintings with some images – they were so well framed drawing you in.
Thank you, Stan. (Do I have your name right?)
Hello again, yes some of those photographs had great composition (that was the word I was trying to think of in my last comment).
My name is actually For, and the reason for the others is due to me buying a reconditioned laptop years ago. When I set up my first email address on the laptop it auto-filled a suggestion for the username that hadn’t been wiped and sent the form before I could stop it!
I just kept the suggestion as I wasn’t computer literate back then to change it.
;>) Good to meet you, For.
And it’s a pleasure to “meet” you officially too! Thanks for having me.
Lovely.
Thank you, Anna.
Nice!
Thank you, Jennie!
You’re welcome, Mitch!
Beautiful photomontage!
Thank you, Sunra!
