The first day of fall 2015 at Knox Farm, East Aurora, not far from Buffalo, NY. This photograph was captured early in the morning before sunrise. The gentle rolling meadows of the park were flooded with fog and there was a beautiful glow in the western sky. Add the cool fresh air of the morning intensified by the humidity and fog and flavored with the aroma of freshly cut grass and hay and it was a just about perfect fall day.

Knox Farm State Park is the former country estate of Buffalo's renowned Knox Family. It is located adjacent to the historic village of East Aurora. There is a variety of habitats, including grasslands, woodlands, ponds and wetlands.

The park offers hiking, cross-country skiing, biking (in designated areas), and horseback riding (by permit), as well as wildlife spotting.
