Fillmore Glen, Moravia, New York, 5/13/06

Scott's mom was in from the city this week, so we explored some of the local scenery. This time, we went to Fillmore Glen State Park in Moravia. For some reason, the main path by all of the waterfalls was closed off, so although we got to see the main falls, the others were basically invisible from the rim trails we were restricted to. I was really disappointed at not being able to see the falls, but it was beautiful anyway.

I've never been in the parks in the springtime much, so I saw some of the woodland blooms for possibly the first time ever. At the bottom of the gorge, these flowers were blooming by the hundreds. It was really something, and my poor digital photography skills simply cannot do it justice.

So we wandered up and down--some of it quite steep. It was a great day for it. The sun slanted through the trees, and the rain held off until just after we finished viewing good old Millard Fillmore's replica cabin. Hey, I like the full experience, even if it's cheesy.
