Niagara County
Gray Morning at Fort Niagara
So much for waking up early to see a beautiful sunset.

Joesph Davis State Park was one of the series of parks built in Niagara County during the 1950s when the county under went major changes, as the Fort Niagara Military base was turned over to state hands and then turned into the Robert Moses Parkway, and a series of parks. On weekends in the summer, there is a fee to park a car in the picnic area, and hunting is allowed in season.
Sadly, most of this area was not well maintained or even well developed. The land is flat, but it is still interesting with a series of small ponds and trails that wind through it.
There was all kinds of wildlife through out the area, including this nice looking buck.
This pond was pretty.
As the evening approached, the sky darkened over the east, but sunrays lit up the foreground.
Here is a map of the hike.
