Autumn Beginnings

Delta Lake State Park

Yesterday was the second photo walk with the group from work. I know! What a day to do the walk. Up here in Central NY it was 91 degrees and humid. To add to our pain, we chose to go to Delta Lake State Park which was defended quite well from intruders by mosquito squads. Needless to say, the walk was not as long as the first one.

Again, I was focused on communication, or maybe it is more correct to say, I didn’t stop talking long enough to capture images during the walk. I did stop at the entrance to capture a few images of the late afternoon light on the trees around the pond. I spoke about this location on the walk and it didn’t disappoint as I was leaving the park.

Reflecting Bellamy

Bellamy Harbor Park

The weather app indicated cloudy conditions but clearing for the day. Perfect for sunrise images. No wind either which had me thinking the canal would be calm and like a mirror. I was right. The colors in the sky reflected in the waters of the canal. A perfect morning (except for the friggin’ mosquitoes)…

Delta Lake State Park

Summer is coming to a close. This weekend is the Ring of Lights around the lake. There will be a bonfire on the beach with a fireworks display. For me, this event signals the end of summer. The weather is expected to be perfect this weekend. I’m looking forward to exploring…

Last evening I went to the lake for the sunset. There were not a lot of people. Other than the seagulls, I had the beach to myself. After the sun set, I grabbed an eight image set of the view from the beach. I created this panoramic from those images.
