Autumn in Potsdam, 12 Oct 19
Just before the rain started to drizzle this afternoon, the autumnal view reflected on Raquette River was quite magical. We are lucky to live in this beautiful area.

Stunning Views Along The Raquette River
As we marched along the Raquette River during our Geology Field Trip exploring one of the many hydro-electric systems along this 'powerful' river, I was distracted by the vibrant view of the turbulent waters of the River, Raquette and the bare forests rooted about it awaiting a signal of rebirth from mother nature as the winter snow slowly dissipates.
Otters on Ice
Two otters spotted feeding on the Raquette River near the outlet of Tupper Lake. There was also an eagle in the area, which was too far away to capture on camera. Encounters like these make me want a better zoom lens!
