I traveled south of Buffalo to Ellicottville to take care of business and my camera came with me. I was looking for great color and actually left it behind me at home. But it was a beautiful day.

These five photo are from a country drive through the farm land around Ellicottville.

These are incredibly beautiful, Marilyn! I love Pumpkinville. I also like the look of the color in the trees. It reminds me of sponge painting. Part of the tree is red, other parts are yellow and green. A beautiful autumn color display!

Thanks for posting to All About Autumn
