I Love New York Travel

Pretty!

This is a photo taken from our trip to The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, NY. Volunteers at the museum spent hours pressing native Adirondack plants onto paper and covering them with laminate. The display is in a small reproduction of a hunter’s cabin. I love the photo with it’s luminous Golden lighting. I’m not a great photographer, so when a photo comes out nice, I do delight in it!

These two photos are pf the same lake– White Lake– in White Lake, NY. It’s a small town on Route 28 with some very nice views. I took the first photo two years ago, one summer; the second photo I took just last week. Boy, the wind whipped up right off that lake; it was brutal trying to stand there and snap a photo. The snow banks were quite high, and I had to slog through snow to get to the photo.

The lake is quite frozen. Snowmobile tracks covered the surface of the lake like a Plano cosmetic dentist had zipped over it with his tools. It gives me the shivers to think about that freezing cold wind! It seared through my coat and whipped my hair around, whew. COLD. I can’t wait until spring again.

Just a simple shot out the window at The Wild Center in Tupper Lake.

I’m looking forward to spring and summer. After I finally renovate my kitchen, I’m getting my own vehicle (one that my husband cannot possibly use for a postal vehicle!) and we’re back to traveling again. Our sights are set for exploring the Adirondacks, the largest natural park in the continental United States. I know very little of the Adirondacks, as well as northern New York, for that matter. I think I’ve been as far north as Watertown before our trip to Tupper Lake. So I’m looking forward to exploring the park. The kids have high hopes of doing some camping, too. I don’t know about allergy season up there.. may need to invest in allergy bedding or something for my son!

Spring and summer still seem rather far away… we got about 10 inches of new snow today. :-p
