Seneca Lake ~ Finger Lakes ~ Watkins Glen

I had about an hour to find something to to and decided to spend 

it along the shore of Seneca Lake in Watkins Glen just prior to sunset.

It was chilly but beautiful!

With the sound of the waves lapping and the gorgeous views all was at peace!

Just before the sun set behind the hills the rays gave one last burst.

Day is done.

This little guy was curious as to what I was doing.  He flew around me for at least 10 minutes.

Seneca Lake ~ Miles Winery ~ Finger Lakes

Miles Winery

My favorite winery around Seneca Lake because of the building!

A Greek Revival home which would be a perfect place for a wedding or a 

romantic get away!

Grab a bottle of wine and some cheese and crackers and head to the picnic table!

Enjoy the views across the lake.

Not relaxed yet?

Head down to the lake a listen to the water lapping with the warm sun warming you!

Sun too warm? Head back up the hill under the trees!

Ahhhh, shade!

Seneca Lake, Finger Lakes ~ Grand Buildings

A barn is a grand building so the title suggests...

I captured this little gem through the car window.  The red barns around Seneca Lake

are a step back in time.  I'm glad to see that for the most part they are still 

used and given care.

A Church is alway a grand building no matter how big or how small.

I'm sure at one time this was a holy place to worship.

Being I'm a small country Church person I have a soft spot for these places.

Can you imagine what all these older places of worship would look like

if we stayed dedicated?  What happens to move out?  Bigger?  Better?

Anyways this place is 'For Rent'.  

I pray it finds a new embrace for the glory of God.

This silo has lost its top!!

I wonder what the story is?

Most would agree this is defiantly a grand building along Seneca Lake.

This is Rose Hill Mansion.

Unfortunately we missed out on touring this gothic revival home. It was closed the day

we visited but it's on my list for a return visit!

Of course we came upon another grand building on the opposite side of the lake from Rose Hill.

This is Belhurst Castle.

You can spend the night, enjoy the spa and taste their wines while enjoying the beautiful 

views of the lake

The red barns certainly are grand is this part of the country!

See what the rest of the world is up to!

The entrance to Bagg Dare's winery.  

Follow the trail littered with a back in time feel.

Someone got lost and stayed at the winery!

My husband wanted to take this truck home and bring it back to life.

The Red Neck pond.

Sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the views.

Hungry.

That's covered here!

This is the original winery location.

The beginning so to speak.

What this offered was a beautiful view of Seneca Lake~

Seneca Lake, Watkins Glen, NY

Picture perfect day along the shores of Seneca Lake.

Have a seat and enjoy the scenery!

No people?

The middle of the week in April deems lots of pictures with no people

and the lapping sound of the lake!

The boat slips were empty but the boating season was close to beginning.

The lake gave off beautiful greenish bluish colors.

You can see forever!

True lake houses!
