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…

Toys Built to Last
In a previous post I introduced you to John and his collection of (mostly) Model A Fords. In the garages and buildings he stores his vehicles can be seen numerous other cool objects he collects such as road signs, garage signs and license plates. He also has a very fun group of toy vehicles –…

Untamed Spirits… Cooperstown Bound
1–2 minutes·
·
On a recent rainy weekend we let our wanderlust direct us and headed to one of our favorite places to visit, Cooperstown, New York. Since it was just a quick trip we centered on the gem of the town (in our opinion) and wandered the Fenimore Art Museum. The next trip will have to include…

Simplify!
Lately I have been concentrating on simplifying. Namely, paring down possessions by selling and giving things away to friends and strangers. Living in the land of plenty we tend to collect possessions – it’s a deeply ingrained priority of our society… One that is so accepted and so closely followed that one can seem strange to coworkers…

Heroes
4–5 minutes·
·
I had heroes as a child… they changed often and had more to do with my interests at the moment than any lifetime guidance. For example, during the few years I played soccer in middle school I really looked up to Brazilian football player Pelé. But, it was in my twenties when I truly discovered Amelia…

Baby, It’s Cold Outside!
Winter has been physically and mentally challenging this year… So much ice it’s difficult to walk and has turned even young people into slow-moving, cautious elders. Falling on ice can be painful and even deadly, and our home was surrounded. One might think I’ve had enough of it – but our treat to each other…

In the Monochrome of Winter
A little color to awaken the eyes! In sorting through my photo archives I came across some pics I took for fun with a smart phone at the Jardin Botanique. So sweet to see flowers and color this time of year… They brighten ones mood and awaken the senses. Hope you enjoy!

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…

The Day of the Fox
As the leaves fall from the trees and the frost hits the north country our scenes turn more monochromatic. There is a peace in the simplicity of the winter landscape… Soothing browns, golds, whites combined with the blue of the sky or layers of gray clouds. Once the snow flies and the snow geese leave…

The Magic of Lanterns
A recent trip to Jardin Botanique in Montreal to photograph the lantern festival netted some fun shots. We arrived in the Chinese garden just at dusk and began trying to record these wonderful, whimsical designs. The lantern exhibit happens every year from early September to early November and is always a treat for the eyes…

Fox Spirit I am Paying Attention!
2–3 minutes·
·
Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) are common in North America. Indeed, Red Fox is one of the most geographically widespread of the carnivores in the world, not endangered by any stretch of the imagination. But these wild, night wanderers are not often seen. When you are fortunate enough to see one, even from a distance, it’s…

How Good To Be Safe…
2–3 minutes·

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…

Wandering Through Mosaïcultures Internationales

I had a final look at the Mosaïcultures Internationales exhibit at Jardin Botanique in Montreal a few weeks ago just before they began dismantling them all… my previous visit was while the sculptures were being constructed in June – see more here https://wanderartist.com/2013/06/14/a-feast-for-the-eyes-imagination/
