The 1st Of A Million Tributes
We were graced with an amazing day to climb Poke-O-Moonshine Mountain in the Adirondacks to honor Shaun’s memory on August 10, 2018. Just a handful of friends joined me to let fly some of Shaun’s ashes from the fire tower. The humidity that was dogging us lifted overnight after a dramatic late night thunderstorm.…

Bouquet River Dip
These hot Adirondack days my favorite road trip is south to the mountains and a swim in the Bouquet River along Route 73… We have a new favorite spot where, even on the hottest weekend day, we’ve not had to share the river with another soul! These photos were taken for fun with a GoPro…

Fledgling Bird Photographer?
We wandered to Ausable Point on Lake Champlain today and found more wildlife than I expected on this chilly and dark December day! We were very surprised to find great blue herons in the area, I thought they would have migrated south by this time… But there was still open water – apparently allowing them…

There is a gem in the Adirondacks… an awesome group of people caring for vulnerable, mending or broken wild creatures. I made a visit to the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge last week and will here post some photos of a few of their residents. It was a difficult place to get the photographs I wanted since…

A Quick Autumn Romp
The fall color is fast fading here in the North Country… we’ve had a wonderful stretch of weather to go out and enjoy it, however! Thought I’d share a quick tour of autumn 2013 through my camera lens… Whiteface Mountain on the left on the Saranac River

Blueberry Summer
This summer we discovered a very fun activity in our own backyard. One lovely day we decided to go berry picking at a local farm and store. Friends had been raving about how many pounds of blueberries they picked, and we were looking for something to do outside… We gathered our plastic containers and straw…

John Brown’s Farm
On a beautiful summer day I recently visited a favorite spot in the Adirondack Mountains in North Elba (near Lake Placid) for a walk back in time. Abolitionist John Brown once farmed here and his old homestead is now a New York State Historic site. John Brown and two of his sons bought the property…

North Country 4th
One of the aspects I enjoy about living in a rural area are small town parades on the 4th of July. Although I do have one minor critique… a little too much emphasis on car culture. I would love to see more walkers, bands, dancers, horseback riders. My one exception to that is, of course,…

Journeying to Asgaard… aka feeding the kids
In Norse mythology Asgaard was the dwelling place of the gods and of slain war heroes, ruled by Odin. But here in the Adirondacks it was the home of an amazing and inspiring artist… In the 1920s Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) chose a glorious spot in the Ausable River Valley for his home, farm and artist’s…

Wandering ‘the Gut’ in Winter
I often drive past a magical area along Lake Champlain that simply looks like a small tree-lined stream running between farm fields. The magic cannot be experienced from the road, but I know where it is as drive over Riley Brook – a brook that flows east toward the lake and meanders through a haven…

Adirondack Cool
It’s an 80 degree day with humidity in the 50 percentile range – who wouldn’t want to be soaking in a cool body of water? I grew up in Northern California with a swimming pool in the backyard. I was spoiled for two reasons – the pool was small and old but was always ready…
