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).

Bald Mountain - in years gone by!

shots of Bald Mountain -
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.

Hundreds attend sled dog races in Inlet
The pleasure of having these races held here in the area for the second year in a row is great! Stop by - and say hi to sled dog artist Pam LaCombe-Connell and her family (including 7 dogs)- and tell her racing thirteen year old son that we hope the sled doesn't tip again today!

Does the moon ever leak? Let's hope not! See below...
More info at

On Wednesday evening, February 20th, the full Moon will enter the Earth’s shadow producing a total lunar eclipse. The Moon will begin to enter the shadow at 8:43 pm EST producing a progressing partial eclipse. Totality will begin at 10:01 pm. The Moon will turn a delightful shade of red when totally immersed in the Earth’s shadow due to the bending of our Sun’s red light by our atmosphere. At 10:51 pm the Moon will begin to leave the Earth’s shadow. If the weather permits, experience for yourself this awesome alignment of the Sun, Earth and Moon. This is the last total lunar eclipse until Dec. 2010.

Any poems about the Red Moon? The poem below sounds like the early 70's, doesn't it? Or are these thoughts ageless?
Red Moon
by
Diane C. Hundertmark
When the moon is red
and the sky is gray
Then my friend
it is time to pray
When the sun is white
and the sky is red
It is time for us to let
ourselves be led
By the one
who carries the sun
When the world runs red
and it drips of blood
Then it is time
for the spirit of peace to come
It will cleanse the earth
and restore it to
It's once brillant
and natural hue
It will call to the powers
and all that lives
Uniting them together
in the now holy lands
The spirit -- is love
and I am you
Together
we shall build
the world anew
