Weather
Sunset at Brantingham Lake
It was a beautiful night seeing a sunset over a partially still-frozen lake. At one point an otter swam by!
St. Lawrence Sunset
These photos were taken at Frink Park in Clayton, NY on August 3, 2016.
Beautiful Winter Sky
I took this beautiful winter sky picture on a South Colton back road. The warmth from the sunshine was a welcomed moment.
Sunrise in Alger Island, Fourth Lake..
Amazing early morning light, with loons calling and birds singing
Baltimore Oriole in the rain
I was going down a 2 lane road on this rainy day when I went passed what I thought was an Oriole and his mate. About a mile down the road I found a place to turn around, rolled down my window (camera is always within reach) and drove past them as the female flew away. I couldn't get a shot so I turned around again and drove by slowly. There was nowhere to pull over so I ended up with this photo on a momentary stop. Poor guy is all wet but seemed quite content. Female came back as I drove off.
June 11, 2016 Sunrise
Insomnia can have its rewards! I couldn't sleep and saw a red/orange color around my window shades. I grabbed my phone, went outside and saw this sunrise waiting for me. No filters, it looked like this! Color stared to fade quickly and I was fortunate to catch it! Taken in Stockholm, NY on June 11, 2016.
