Why do I feel like I am in northern Jersey - ADK-style

 



Welcome to Long Lake -
Well, one aspect of Long Lake.
This jolly jockey seems a little out of place, especially since a large cardboard warning sign, unseen and to his right, proclaimed the privacy of the dirt road we were about to enter (merely for the purpose of backing up and returning to civilization).

4TH OF JULY WEEKEND

(Pamme Swan and guests at BYOB Tuesdays!

The lineup for the week of July 4th at the Big Moose Inn and Restaurant is just incredible! Great music by both the Moon Dogs of Malone on July 4th at 8 pm and Fritz Henry on July 5th.

The trip to Canojoharie...

on the way to shoot pictures of the rare "showy" ladyslippers in the Remsen Bog, decided to drive further... visit this great gorge located just past the highschool in Canojohaire. It was a WOW... with water so warm as it gets superheated while traveling over the bed of shale that forms its bottom... and the 20 minute walk (wear TEVA's and swimming gear, although swimming is officially verbotim) culminates, if you are not careful - in a thirty foot drop over a falls. Lots of kids jump there. I would not recommend it. Tricky. your call....

There's been alot of rain this spring...

 

The wet spring brings out showy lady slippers...
and showy.... what the ?
(Was introduced to this fine dragon in front of the new coffee house in town, "Ozzies"...)
Wildlife in the ADK's is changing. Hope this guy never gets off his leash and mates
with the local deer. Scary thought.

 

Out of this world beauty

 


It's been a while since I have posted anything on this site. My interest waned after the death of my niece, Jamie - on December 12, 2007.
But life - in all its beauty - rises its head and says... sigh... Pay Attention.
Oh, yes.
