Niagara county-more than Niagara Falls!

Orchard in Bloom 

This forgotten corner of New York is more than it’s famous falls.  This Western county borders Lake Ontario to the north and the Niagara river to the west, although it  is usually over shadowed by it’s southern neighbor, Erie. Sadly, rapid development is quickly depleting it’s beautiful farm country, but there are still some fantastic open fields and orchards in the northern portions.  These orchards are rooted in the history of the area, and make a spectacular show of white and pink in the spring as they fill the fields with showy blooms.  Fortunately there are communities like Somerset that are establishing themselves as “right to farm” communities that will help protect the heritage of this beautiful place.  A springtime drive through the northern portion including Youngstown, Wilson, Newfane & Somerset will amaze with it’s fields full of trees in full bloom.  Fall brings apple festivals that give a nod to the heritage of this great little corner of New York.  If you are traveling to the area in spring, be sure to take a drive through orchard country!  Click on the photograph of the orchard in bloom if you are interested in bringing home some of the beauty of the area, or click here for a link to a section in our photography shop dedicated to flowers:  http://www.cafepress.com/photographz/2688373
