Evening Canoe on the St. Lawrence

Osprey in flight
Kayaking on 7th lake when I spotted this Osprey looking for a meal. Was able to get right underneath it before it decided it had enough.
Raquette Pond Sunrise
I had to pull over on the side of the road to grab a quick picture of this colorful sunrise on my early morning drive to the high peaks!
Lunch with the loon
We were having lunch when this unexpected guest showed up and gave us a show.
Sunset from the Green Bridge
Beautiful sunset from the Green Bridge in Thendara, NY
Snowshoe Hare
This snowshoe was hiding within some stems of a stump-sprouted tree that I had passed. When it hopped out I got this photo.
