Copperas Pond- Wilminton
A short but steep hike to a great little Adirondack Pond. The west branch of the Ausable River runs right in back of the parking area. Wonderful views of Wilmington Notch as well. 1.5-miles round-trip to the lean-to.
Mt Arab sunrise
Mt Arab is always a favorite in winter, but I decided to do a summer hike for the sunrise. As you can see, it didn't disappoint. The low fog really made it great.

Kayaking in Potsdam at sunset
Kayaking till the sun sets in Potsdam is a treat because the sunsets are amazing- these are 2 photos on different days in October 2019 in Potsdam
Melting Snow and Clouds on the Raquette River
I was driving by the bridge in Potsdam - next to Trinity Church - I had to stop my car and take the photo - it was just breathtaking!!!
Ice Formations on Deer River
These ice formations were very cool to see on the banks of the Deer River and low over hanging tree branches. It was sad to see the ice formations melt when the temp warms up.
1st Snow Fall for 2020 on Tug Hill
This was our 1st snowfall for 2020. The one thing I remember that day besides all the snow was all the creeks, beaver pond in the back and snow covered brush & trees. It was a beautiful view!
Peaceful Creek
I find this creek very relaxing especially when the colors are almost at their peak.
Winter Wonderland
We just got 8 inches of fresh snow which covered everything up making this creek even more beautiful.
