0731/30th October 2025 Since our last excursion to the northern border, we've kept fairly close to home, which doesn't mean the camera has been inactive. .

1103/28th October 2025 Leaving Ticonderoga, we continued along the shore road, noting white caps on the lake. . Just as clouds decorate the sky, white caps give character to a body of water.

19th October 2025 Periodically we stop at Riverfront Park in Greenwich. I'm not sure it should be called a park, being no bigger than a small garden, but it affords us a look at the Batten Kill above the weir. . Normally water rushes over it with an impressive roar. Now the flow is so … Continue reading Determined
0702/18th October 2025 Not to belabor a subject, but how could I not share such a sight? . A small flight of Canada geese flew past.
