St. Lawrence River
Sunset reflections
Walking near the St. Lawrence River as the sun was setting. I was a beautiful evening and large fish were jumping at the bugs.
Panoramic St. Lawrence River Sunset
Panoramic of St. Lawrence River from Island View Park looking north to Ogden Island and Canada. The colors captured are dramatic and natural. The beauty of our river sunsets rival those of anywhere in the world.

The morning mist never ceases to amaze me
Your alarm blares at 4:55 am and you zombie walk through the motions, counting down the hours until you will be reunited with your bed again. On the bus to the river, you try to sleep but open your eyes periodically to see the changing light that silhouettes the passing trees. Once you reach the boathouse you must be awake, and you shuffle around with your teammates to get ready for a productive practice. By 6:15 you're in the boat and you start to feel alive again as you propel the water back with your oar and the shell cuts through the glassy water like a knife.

Rainstorm/sunset on the St. Lawrence River
While eating dinner on the outdoor deck at a restaurant in Clayton, the rain moved in. This occurred at the same time that the sun was setting and created a beautiful sky...
Last one standing
Driving along the St. Lawrence between Massena and Waddington..one man standing out on the ice despite serious spring melt and even some open water between him and the shore...does that seem like a good idea?
