Canal Shells

Posted by Mike on

Barge Canal near the Utica Marsh

On Wednesday my daughter needed to stay later than usual at college to make up one of her labs. Luckily for me the weather has been on a continual upswing which allowed me to explore the barge canal near the Utica Marsh after dropping her off. The state still has the water level in the canal at its winter low so I had an unique opportunity to get some different perspectives. I was quite fascinated with the rocks that line the canal walls…

Sunset Snow

Delta Lake State Park

41 degrees! We made it to 41 degrees yesterday. It was glorious! Beautiful sunny day with very little cloud cover and minimal wind. It felt like we were in the tropics. OK, maybe not the tropics but after the sub-zero temperatures this warming up is a welcomed change.

I quickly threw together some dinner for the kids (its a law I have to feed them everyday, right? I mean they are 19 and 22, they should be able to forage for food on their own), grabbed the camera and tripod on my way out the door with Delta Lake State Park my final destination. The snow was way deeper than I have experienced at the park in previous years. I did manage to explore a little but my main goal was the sunset. I had the beach and this view to myself.

Summer Dreamin’

Chittenango Falls State Park

As I sit here at the computer watching it snow yet again I couldn’t help but dream of warmer days. I think the snow hurts more today after the nice sunny weather we experienced yesterday. I caught spring fever while I was out running errands and now I want the snow to just melt away.

As I was going through my image library for a book I was creating (personal project focusing on my Squared series) I noticed this image of Chittenango Falls. I’m not sure why I didn’t process this one last June but I thought doing so today would distract me from the white stuff coming down. Hopefully it will help the rest of you who are just as tired of winter as I am.
