Weather

Night Fog Misty Dew

The sun was starting to set, it was cold and damp, everything was wet, and the fog made if creepy feeling someone was going to jump out at you...

Avalanche Pass

Waiting for the clouds to lift as I passed through Avalanche Pass on my way to Marshall

Wright Peak Sunrise

Caught the sunrise coming up over Colden from the summit of Wright Peak

Mt. Baker Sunrise

Climbed a 30 foot tree on the summit of Mount Baker to get this amazing shot of the sun rising.

Snowliage

Peak foliage with an inch of snow in one of my favorite places in the High Peaks

Birds enjoying the glorious spring melt on the St. Lawrence

Group hike with the Laurentian chapter of the Adirondack Club at Wellesley Island; Glorious sun; First day that felt like spring; Ice melting right in front of us

Last one standing

Driving along the St. Lawrence between Massena and Waddington..one man standing out on the ice despite serious spring melt and even some open water between him and the shore...does that seem like a good idea?

An Early Rise

Decided to wake up early before my cross country teammates were awake to see the sunrise while staying at Canaras for our preseason camp.

Rainbow Over Rollins Pond

Slight rain resulted in this beautiful sight over Rollins Pond in Saranac Lake during the first night of camping at Rollins Pond Campground.

My early morning commute...

I had to make a quick "encounter" stop during my early morning commute to Canton this morning. As I approached this spot, I heard a "sploosh!" as something slipped into the water and disappeared. Turtle? Beaver? Otter? Not sure. This is near the intersection of Judson Street Rd and Rt 35 in Potsdam.
