Fall is in full swing here in upstate New York, and while I wait for peak colors to appear in Saratoga Springs, my hometown, I find myself reflecting on my favorite fall photos from years past. In this post, I’ll share my favorite fall photos taken in Saratoga. In future posts, I’ll share fall photos taken in other locales.
