Yesterday was Larry’s Birthday, and though we had a lot to get done around home, later on in the day, we headed out for some merriment.
As he often does, Larry had noticed something on his way home from work, that he thought I might enjoy photographing – a huge field of sunflowers up on one the hills around us. So, we took a little detour to check it out.
We had planned to hike up through the gorge that leads to this waterfall, but we had so much rain the couple days before that we thought it might be too wet in there. Instead, we cheated and drove up to the overlook. This is Taughannock Falls, above Cayuga Lake. At 215 feet, it is the highest free-falling water fall in the Northeast United States. Yes, higher than Niagara Falls, which is about 185 or so.
Then we went to our new favorite restaurant. We are hoping maybe the owners can be convinced that they should adopt us and let us live here.
We had some of these and a fabulous meal. Once I get some food in front of me, I put the camera away, so no shots of that.
Then, stuffed like sausages, we waddled homeward. It was a good day.
Have a great Monday everyone!
Looooooooove these photos!! We live on a street named Lake Cayuga. Thanks for the added info.

beautiful shots. I’ve been going nuts with sunflowers lately.
…”Happy Birthday Dlyn’s Larry!” – and here’s to many, many more! :o)
…Aw c’mon, no shots of the food? Seriously? I feel so short changed… (just kidding! :o) Glad to hear you had a good time. Love the waterfall!
…Blessings… :o)
I have never seen a field of Sunflowers like that, wow!!!
Sounds like such a fun time :)
Why woud someone plant an entire field of sunflowers expect for the beauty of it. Unless there is an avid seed eater in the the family. Anyway, lovely.
And Maxies. Going to have to try that place sometime. Wanna watch the kids for the evening?
Happy Birthday, Dad!! Hope it was a good one.
