English soccer in Buffalo

I went to the second soccer game in my life the last week in June. The first one was between the University of Buffalo Bulls and the Akron Zips, who were undefeated at the time. That game ended up as a 1-0 win for Akron.

This game between the FC Buffalo Blitzers and the Bedlington Terriers FC, resulted in a 5-1 Buffalo win. It was played at All-High Stadium before a crowd close to 4,000.  It was a pretty intersting game and a shootout for scoring.

Here are some pictures I took at the game:

Old trees at Amherst State Park

The Amherst State Park in Williamsville has many trails and land that has plenty of old trees. The trees themselves are artistic in their shapes they take.
Here's some that I photographed in June.

The Erie Canal takes an unusual turn as it goes above a road in Media. Here's a picture of a bridge where the road actually goes under the Erie Canal, along with two picture of the canal above the road.
