18 May 2024 Allegany State Park... ASP Geobash

We spent the day with a few friends and a lot of nature.

Beaver work zone...

Low-cost osprey nesting platform

It was a prefect woodland spring day for early wildflowers.

Finding ammo cans and other geocaches in the woods is a fun, enduring activity, but being in the outdoors is the true moment of joy.

One last view of a beautiful park on a perfect spring day.

5 April 2024 Mergansers at Allegany State Park

I was returning from business in the Niagara Falls area and stopped at Allegany State Park. It was a grey day with snow flakes dotting the air, but the mergansers were worth braving the cold.

They looked as though they were racing.

A brief stop to enjoy the flowing waters...

13 October 2023 Visiting Letchworth

Letchworth is awesome when there is a lot of flow. Today promised to be one of those days.

Getting closer to the falls

Cuba, New York is a colorful place.

11 October 2023 Awesome Waterfalls

We started our day in Corning, New York. It was very pleasant to be in a real town with shops, restaurants and places to walk.

The Corning Clock Tower is a super center point for the town.

This rebodied Japanese Kei truck was extremely tiny. It's body was redone to carry forward the lines of a VW bus. It looked like a fun way to spend time.

Shequaga Falls was the first large falls of the day for us. It was awesome.

Taughannock Falls was equally awesome. We were lucky that both had water flow when we visited.

9 October 2023 A Return to Watkins Glen

It is an awesome journey through Watkins Glen. The day was spent on another visit to a beautiful place. Luckily, I didn't fall in, and I didn't drop the camera.

8 October 2023 Heading East

Our goal was the Corning area. We planned to make a number of stops on a relatively short driving day. The New England asters were from an early stop. These are among the last of the wildflowers at summer's end. These were splendid despite fall having arrived.

A stop in the ANF gave some of fall's colors.

We made time for a hike along the North Country Trail.

The day was fun and loaded with adventures, but the reality of shorter days can't be avoided.

A relaxing meal together...
