Ithaca Farmers' Market

We happened upon this awesome structure, the Ithaca Farmers' Market, 
at the edge of the city near the harbor on a non-market day.  
The website, http://www.ithacamarket.com, says there are 150 vendors. 
Inside this beautiful shed, built entirely by volunteers on waste land, are 80 unique stalls. 
The place was spotless on the day we visited, a day immediately following an open day. 
We will return!

At the Cornell Lab of Ornithology at Sapsucker Woods, Ithaca

An antique collection of hummingbirds, 98 of them, all different, In a mahogany case. Click on the picture to full screen for fantastic effect!
The collection was given to Cornell by a Rochester family, descendants not of the collector but of a traveler who fortunately had the means to bring them from Panama. Mounted long ago, more recently restored, they retain their wildly irridescent feather coloration.



A great blue heron, one among a reproducing group, is very alive and preening in the pond at Sapsucker Woods.
