Rochester hosts several arts festivals each year. One of my favorites is the one in Corn Hill, a wonderful neighborhood of restored homes across the Genesee River from our house. This year Tracy and I decided to walk. It was a picture-perfect day-hot but breezy, low humidity, and lots of glorious sunshine. Walking had several advantages: we had our exercise out of the way first thing, we had to limit any purchases to things we were willing to carry home, and it extended the pleasure of the day. We ended up buying a bonsai for Matt and the very last poster from the 2004 Corn Hill Arts Festival which I wished I had bought last year. Here are a few photos, including one of the Rochester skyline from the Ford Street Bridge.
