Recreation

Evening Canoe on the St. Lawrence

This ADK trip put in at Brandy Brook and canoed up to just before Coles Creek, with a picnic on the way. Late in the day the sky was spectacular..

Hot summer day paddling a new body of water. Lily pads were abundant

Great Encounter on Little Clear Pond

Paddling around Little Clear Pond, we came upon Mom, Dad and young Mergansers watching us cautiously

Getting ready for Halloween

Coming around the island I came upon these to webs out on an island of downed branches.

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.
