Season
Spring leaves unfurling
Brand new spring leaves, opening for the first time. A new start!
Merging High Puddle and Low Lake (Mount Ampersand)
From the top of Ampersand, this high puddle merges with the lake below. Beautiful fall color :-)
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.
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.
More Interesting Fungi
Various fungi found on the trail in my woods.
Winter At Its Best
It was the most beautiful winter day, blue skies with temperatures that were just on the edge of melting. Snow had freshly fallen during the night. I was out around noon and had to run for my camera and start taking pictures. The snow on the branches soon started to melt and fall to the ground. The scenery did not last long.
young mink
Hikers coming back on trail said there were 3 babies playing in the area. This little one got temporarily left behind. Mother did eventually come back to retrieve and drag back up the riverbank. Still remarkably quick carrying a big load.
Chaumont barrens flora
I'm not a plant expert by any stretch, but I know some of these are pretty unique to my hikes.
