The Blues

Sunday was a great day! Not only was the day gorgeous with warm temperatures and sunshine I was able to bookend the day with photography. Due in part to daylight savings time occurring Sunday morning I had plenty of time for a walk with the camera before anyone else in the house woke up. There were a few clouds in the sky willing to highlight the sunrise and a long absence from the field across the road combined for some great early morning captures.

After a busy day filled with grocery shopping and a trip to the movies with my daughter I ended the day at Delta Lake state park for some sunset delight. Once again there were cooperating clouds, no wind and practically no people. The ice on the lake has started to melt and the water pools added to any composition I wanted to create. You might be flooded with pictures from the fun last night. I’ll apologize ahead of time! 🙂

The Path to Riches

Well, maybe not the path to riches exactly, but at least it was a path to fishes…

It was another beautiful day here in Central NY and I ventured out in the late afternoon to track down some more eagles. The young one was once again perched on the tree by the Black River but after I scared him away I found my way up to Delta Lake State Park for a little sunset action.

It was a little disappointing in the sky, the colors were more muted than I had hoped for but this view along the snowmobile path out into the frozen lake was cool.  I was hoping for a more contrast between the warm sky colors and the cool ice/snow. I’m not complaining though, I had a great time exploring and just being outside was good. I’m sure I’ll be back before the winter is over…
