Another Walk

Posted by Mike on

Mohawk River Trail – Heading North

Late Sunday morning was the perfect time for another walk. This time when I left my apartment I headed North along the Mohawk River Trail from Olney’s Flower Shop. This section of the trail has not been paved yet (not positive if it will be) but it is a section that follows the old Black River Canal.

On the left of this image would be the Mohawk River and on the right is the remains of the canal. I know, you can’t really see those features but trust me, they are there… 🙂

The subjects for my camera were not as plentiful along this section of the trail. I did find a great area which has been populated by daffodils. I’m not positive if the homeowner up along the boulevard created the area or if it naturally occurred from the large flower beds behind the house. Either way, it allowed me to grab a quick pic or two…

I have a few more images to share but I’m running out of time this morning. I’ll save those for another day…

Midday, Floral, Macro

Another beautiful day in Central NY. I wasn’t going to let the day pass me by so I grabbed the camera with the macro lens and headed out the door.

I wanted to walk the trail along the canal again. I know it is a good five mile round trip and I definitely need to be active. Lazy is easy… 🙂

My focus was finding subjects for my macro lens. Should be easy. I walked the entire path and barely stopped for an image. At the end (the end where I turn around) I found a few small flowers and interesting dried up ferns (?). The minute I found these small yellow flowers, I couldn’t stop seeing them. On the walk back to the apartment I noticed everything I missed initially.

How?

I was looking, I swear.

Now I’m thinking I was off in la-la land as I was walking. It amazed me what I missed.

Squared – SQ170
Midday, Macro

I got out of work early (the benefit of starting early) and went for a walk with the macro lens at the International Sculpture Garden. It was a nice day with the temperature almost reaching 60 F. This morning I woke to six inches of snow and it is still coming down strong, although the it is supposed to rain later today. Welcome to Central New York… LOL
