Trail Safety

Posted by Mike on

My exploration of Rockefeller State Park Preserve was really just a tease for me. I’m thinking I will need to return either during the summer or the fall to see what else this park has to offer. Plus in the few hours that I was there I was able to only walk through about a third of the trails. It is a wonderful place that will be calling to me as the seasons change.

I came upon this fire hydrant along one of the trails and I couldn’t resist capturing an image. There is a theme over on Google+ called Fire Hydrant Friday which I have been having fun contributing to which probably had a part in my decision to raise camera to eye…

Another image for my Monochrome Winter series…

A River (or Creek) Runs Through…

Posted by Mike on

On my way home from work Saturday I couldn’t resist stopping along the Oriskany Creek to capture a few images before all the snow melted. The warm temps have added to the water volume and made for a good display of splash over the small falls. Additional images for my Monochrome Winter series…

Solitude

I found this scene on my way home from the library the other night. I knew I had to return and capture it before the snow disappeared. Another entry in my Monochrome Winter series.

Frozen

Adding to the Monochrome Winter series with this lone leaf found in the snow outside of work. Some days it is just enough to get outside with the camera during lunch to re-charge the batteries.
