Cloudy Sunset
Delta Lake State Park
What a glorious evening! Last night the temperature, the wind, the approaching clouds and the sunset all combined to create a wonderful time at Delta Lake State Park. I knew driving home that I would be jumping right back out after dinner. It is still very early in the season so I practically had the park to myself. I brought home quite a collection of images from my short exploration. This wide-angle view of the lake is about 15 minutes before the actual sunset.
Quiet Sunset
Canal Shells
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…
Wordless Wednesday: Through the Trees
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.
The Fence
In The Yard – ITY04
Another image from last Friday when we had that rare sunny afternoon. I thought I would include a little more of the landscape to show what a beautiful day it was. This is the type of winter day I can get behind, not those grey, cloudy days. 🙂
Frozen Field
In The Yard – ITY03
I might be taking liberty with my definition of “in the yard” for this one but since I walked across the road into the pasture to get this image I’m calling it part of my series. LOL After quite a few days of gloomy weather a brilliant sunny afternoon carried me home from work so I quickly suited up in my winter shoveling clothes, grabbed the camera and ventured outside. I could live with a little warmer temperatures but the sun was nice. I really liked how the shadows of the grass were playing across the whole field and I tried to focus on that as I composed this scene.
