A Morning Stroll

Green Lakes State Park

Time for another walk!

Come on! Get off the couch!

I see you trying to hide behind the recliner. Let’s go!

I promise, you’ll like this one.

We’re going to Green Lakes State Park in Fayettville.

There is a great trail around Green Lake and in the morning the changing light offers great opportunities. We’ll start at the beach end and walk the loop…

Cacophony in Water

Taughannock Falls State Park

My typical first visit when I venture down to the Ithaca area is Taughannock Falls State Park. It is my warm-up walk. A flat, 3/4 mile trail eases me into the day and at the end I am rewarded with a majestic view of the falls. Not a bad way to start a day…

Long Lost

Wells Falls, Ithaca, NY

Even when the light is favorable, I’m really liking my waterfalls in monochrome. Not all of them but the color in this scene was very distracting to me. Easy fix, remove the color. Bam!
