In my last post, I shared my favorite fall photos taken in my hometown of Saratoga Springs, NY. In this post, I will share my favorite fall photos taken at Old Friends at Cabin Creek, a thoroughbred retirement farm in Greenfield, NY, where I volunteer. If you purchase a print from this post, I donate my profit directly to the farm to support the horses.
