Stone Valley in Colton, Ny is a spot with true beauty. For years this woodland trail has been the site to thousands of different species of animals, plants and insects that is a true pleasure to see. The trail in the Stone Valley trail was built by the vision of a man named LEWIS "LEW" WEEKS. His vision in the early 1940s is why we have the ability to see the beautiful animals and plant species. The picture is interesting to me because it shows the survival of trees as well as other plants species over the beautiful river.

Type: closeup. Habitat description: hardwood forrest. Natural History information: We came across this site one one of our walks. There was a clear interaction between a snowshoe hare and a predator, and the predator most certainly won. Behind the image of the foot, you can see the the snow where the disturbance took place. Unfortunately by the time we got there, all of the tracks had been snowed over, so we could not decider the type of predator. Snowshoe hares are generally prey to species including lynx, bobcats, fishers, foxes, coyotes, and even some birds of prey.

I have always been fascinated by icicles and the process of water freezing. I took this picture at Stone Valley when I ventured down to the water, partly frozen. The habitat that this picture illustrates is a river, surrounded by wooded This picture depicts snow that is partially freezing, with small icicles. The size of these icicles could not cause any damage to a person, however, sometimes icicles can form to be more than three feet long. Icicles can form during bright, sunny, but subfreezing weather, when ice or snow melted by sunlight or some other heat source.

As I stated in another post, we trekked around Lampson Falls one day and I stopped to take this picture of the frozen falls in the winter. I think it gives a neat perspective, from a diagonal view. The Lampson Falls trail provides a nice, relatively easy nature walk along in a soft-wooded habitat. Once arriving at the falls, one can swim, canoe, fish, and even white-water kayak. Located in the Grass River Forest, in the St. Lawrence Country, in a town called Clare, Lampson is a .6 mile walk until arrival at the falls.

During our adventure in Lampson Falls for our lab on February 18th, we saw many animal tracks. Deep within the softwood forest, I saw white-tailed deer tracks scattered around. This pair of animal tracks stuck out to me in particular because it was crisp and seemed to be relatively fresh tracks in the snow. I wondered if the deer had just passed through before us five minutes earlier. White-tailed deer are a medium-sized deer located in the United States, Canada, and in Central and South America.

This picture was taken during our class lab at Stone Valley, where we dedicated time to go off and explore on our own, looking for pictures for our nature photography project. This scene here caught my attention, particularly because of the combination of running water and snow coverage. When we visited, it happened to be a moderately cold day in this hardwood forest. Stone Valley is home to several waterfalls, and the length of the SV trail in total is 7.8 miles.

Lampson Falls is a beautiful spot in the North Country. This impressive Falls and trail has been enjoyed for many years by different species. The beautiful 40 feet tall 100 feet wide trail makes the 15 minute hike through the falls worth it. This picture depicts the front of Lampson Falls through a cold winter February day. What interest me about this picture is that although you can see frozen parts of the falls you can also tell that the falls is flowing down the river.

Stone Valley in Colton, Ny is the site of many different Species which makes it a great place to view nature. It is a spot which is peaceful to all. There are many species of birds in stone valley which need to find ways to survive. They are a smaller species have to be crafty to stay alive. The picture depicted is a close up of a birds nest in a tree in Stone Valley. The species is unknown but the most interesting park is this shows one way which the many different species survive in different environments.

The picture taken is from a beautiful spot in the Adirondack Park Preserve called Stone Valley trail in Colton New, York. This trail is your typical spot to look at any type of North Country species you desire to see. The picture below is a close up of a hardwood tree in the middle of winter. The tree is a older tree by the thickness of the tree. What interest me about this picture is you can see the different adaptions which this tree and the trees behind have taken to survive in the hard winters of the North Country.

The site was Stone Valley trail in Colton, New York. This trail is beautiful over looking the Raquette River and is an Adirondack Park Preserve trail. This woodland forest is the site of thousands of different animal, bird and plant species which make this site so remarkable. The picture I took was the perfect opportunity to capture the essence and beauty of the Adirondacks and that is why this landscape picture is so special and interesting to me.
