These are really terrible pictures, in comparison to how beautiful it actually is... I'll do better next time but for now, these shots are the best of what I caught.

I think you did a great job capturing the southeast corner of Onondaga County/southeastern suburbs of Syracuse.....especially considering the relatively low sun angle and the time of year (very early spring).

And thanks for adding those new construction photos just for me!

Nice pics! That shopping plaza with the Chinese restaurant has come along nicely. The new facade greatly improves not only the plaza but the neighboring interesection. The same owner of that plaza also purchased the Manlius Mart plaza where Harvey Drugs used to be.

Your pics of Route 80 through Fabius and Tully are excellent. Seeing them makes me want to get in my car and drive 5 hours to Highland Forest.

Thanks, Royce! I'm heading out to my mom's in Fabius today and will take better pics... my husband will be driving. :P

And we're going for a spring hike at Highland Forest when my sister in law visits next week. I'll be sure to get pics of the park then... and hopefully have time to wander around Caz for a bit and take some pictures.

It truly is a beautiful area. I would drive around a bit on my way back from college when I was a senior trying to picture where we would live after I got a job at a place like O'Brien & Gere. Sadly that wasn't to be.

I did get to hike around a good bit last summer on the newer sections of the North Country National Scenic Trail either side of Highland Park, and around Cazenovia. The volunteers of Welcome to Adirondack Mountain Club Onondaga Chapter and CNY Chapter NCTA AboutUs are doing a great job in creating a new, interesting, alternative to such better known long distance footpaths as the Appalachian Trail. The newer parts of the path are much nicer laid out than the older trails in the Park so be sure to check those out too!

Those pictures captured the essence of that part of the Syracuse area with the hills and clear and winding roads. Really nice.

heading back into Manlius from Fayetteville Towne Center... on Troop K Road, then into the village itself:

the new Saucy Swan, which used to be What's Your Beef?... taken backwards from the sunroof. Sorry for the poor quality-

Great pics. We tried the Saucy Swan a month or two back, very good food, very good prices. The owner was bummed because his new sign was vandalized not a week after installation, some maroon broke the head off the swan. I see he repaired it with a hopefully more miscreant-proof swan.

GREAT Photos, Proulx! Gorgeous areas surround Syracuse, it just amazes me that you can see all this beauty and only 15-20 min from the city.

Proulx, that picture of your favorite home on the corner of Henneberry & Broadfield Road...heck, I'd know that architecture backwards and front!! That's a Greek Revival farmhouse! We live in one that looks exactly like that, only in Michigan! My favorite style of architecture...classic...but drafty! I will miss my grand dame.

Thanks for taking the time to post all these great pics.
