Saturday we pressed the easy button and took in the long distance view of Taughannock Falls from the viewing platform off the parking lot - wimps we were!
We had a lovey time stopping by some of the local wineries for afternoon tastings and a late lunch at the Americana Winery - yum!
I love rocks - look at this intriguing design in the water.
Saturday evening we had dinner at the Hazelnut Kitchen in Trumansburg - delicious - the husband and wife chefs are transplants from Philadelphia. Sunday we hiked - really walked - to the foot of the Taughannock Falls - this is just a little drip compared to the big falls - but still pretty. Surprisingly there was still a lot of color on the trees.
If you look up to the top of the cliff - that is where we were yesterday looking down on the falls.
Here the falls are up close and personal.
And a little closer. It's only a mile and a half walk, round trip, to get a birds-eye view of the falls. When the snow melts this waterfall gets angry - I've seen pictures. 
Great weekend in Ithaca - if you get a chance to make the trip I strongly recommend it!

Glad you enjoyed yourself on Cayuga Lake. We have a seasonal cottage on Honeoye Lake, one of the small finger lakes. We are in the process of closing up for the season, always a sad time of the year. Beautiful pictures.
Lisa,
I loved your photos. We visited the falls and saw them from the top and the bottom several summers ago. It's a beautiful area and nice to see again. You fit a lot into your short time there. Thanks for sharing your fun.
