Where Did Spring, Summer and Fall Go?
We had our first snow last night and so I went out this morning and took a few quick shots. Not enough snow to really head out, but worth a short walk in the woods. Are we even ready for this yet? Well, I’m still trying to figure out where Spring, Summer and Fall went. [...]
Flowers Galore!
The surprising thing about the Adirondacks (for me) is the fact that there are flowers EVERYWHERE. Each week seems to bring out some new variety and color. The Tiger Lillies are everywhere, but I’ve not had TOO much luck getting a good shot of the wild ones that is interesting enough. But, in my OWN [...]
Seven New Neighbors
Well, I was working in the yard planting a garden and ‘got the call’ from my mother-in-law. Of course, I am just a bit up the road from the lake, and she is right on the edge. She called to let me know that the Canada Geese that were nesting across the lake were in [...]
Unusual Winter
Well, everyone is trying to convince me that this is NOT the usual winter. More snow, colder temperatures, etc. Heck, I have NO idea, because I don’t have a baseline. But what I DO know, is that in January, there were 27 days where at least SOME snow was recorded in our area out of [...]
OK – Enough Snow Already!
OK, shoveling three times a day, every other day is finally wearing me out! Let’s take today for instance. Had to shovel/snow blow yesterday morning to get rid of the 6″ from the night before. Then, it snowed a little off and on all yesterday, and a little last night. So, up this morning [...]
I Saw a Star Last Night
I saw a star last night. You would not have believed it. It had five points and looked exactly like the Star of Texas. It was clear, the air was bitter cold; close to zero, and the moon was unbelievably bright. The air was so dry, that the crystals on top of the deep snow [...]
Winter Images – Spruce Lake
For those of you who think the landscape images have been slow to come, you’re right! I have been taking some, but it’s actually a lot harder to get them than you might think. Here’s why: First, if it is snowing, I have to shovel myself out. This takes about two hours and just sucks [...]
The New Abode
Well, we found this great little place, right next to Deborah’s sister’s house. It’s on 1.3 acres, has a two-car garage, and a workshop further back. Of course, it has a LOT of snow from the last few days, but the price is right! We’re moving into it now…
Panoramics Galore!
I have been taking panoramic images of what I see each morning/evening from right out my door where I’m sitting typing this now. They are harder to see here, because I have to make them only so many pixels wide, which then makes a little short. However, you get the idea.
Sittin’ on the Dock
So, yesterday I spent three hours sitting on the dock at the lake, waiting for this flock of geese to take off, get closer to me, or do SOMETHING! Well, they took off all right – in the wrong direction, and this is the best show I got. I’m determined to ‘trick’ the flock into [...]
