Spring flowers to brighten the cemetery
A hopeful combination of spring flowers and lovely old Adirondack cemetery in Newcomb
Spring leaves unfurling
Brand new spring leaves, opening for the first time. A new start!
Hobblebush on Cascade
I learned the name of this flower on this trip. They are so distinctive and lovely :-) Little flowers ringed by bigger ones.
Merging High Puddle and Low Lake (Mount Ampersand)
From the top of Ampersand, this high puddle merges with the lake below. Beautiful fall color :-)
Summer sunset on the lake
We were driving back from Albany and felt compelled to stop and take some pictures of sunset on the lake. Gorgeous view!
A touch of winter from Whiteface
It was one of the last days the road up Whiteface was open. It was hard frosty white on top and a carpet of autumn leaves down below.
Wildflower Wonder
I was strolling along the Racquette River in Potsdam when I noticed these wildflowers stretching toward the water and the sunshine. Another sign that summer had arrived in our lovely north country.
Fiddlehead Unfurling
The arrival of fiddleheads in our Canton backyard is the true sign of spring in the north country; a signal that mother nature has returned with color and inspiring beauty.
Lovely Lily Pad
My husband, Mark, and I were kayaking on Yellow Lake, Macomb, enjoying the solitude and peacefulness. We were nearly finished with our kayak when I noticed a group of lovely lily pads and blossoms bobbing in the water. I felt compelled to capture this moment.
