While kayaking the Little River, I was able to observe a small Whitetail Deer drinking at the water's edge. I enjoy exploring the Little River by boat because it allows me to see a number of species that I may not be able to see on the land. Having no natural predators in the water, deer are normally patient and allow paddlers to come much closer to them than people on foot. I hope to see this doe again sometime!

Eleven hours of hiking and climbing makes for a fantastic day. Welcome to technical climbing on Gothics' South Face. This is the Original Route circa 1800s rated 5.4.

South Pond - Loon exploring the entire water expanse - north, south, east and west! - Osprey calling from up high in their treetop nest. Three canoeists - Page, Dylan and Ryann - join their Dad, Connie Perry and friends.

View from the top of Cascade - one of the 46 High Peaks! I love the layers of blue sky and mountains, green and rock.

A sunny day, kayaking around the lake. There were small hillocks at one end of the lake. Once in close, I found this Bog Violet... my first encounter with this particular violet.

Beautiful view of the Grasse River on an early morning jog in the fall.
