I Love New York Travel

I was rummaging through the fridge the other day, and spotted a bag of blueberries in the freezer. Yum. Then it hit me.

I TOTALLY forgot to go berry picking this year.

*groan*

It’s October already!!!! What happened to my summer?! Berry picking ended in…. in JULY!

Oh gee. I am just… terrible.

Maybe there’s still hope for me, though. There’s always a Shari’s Berries gift. :D

This was an unexpected photo.

It was taken at sunset, a few hours before Hurricane Irene crashed into Upstate New York on August… 28th, was it? My daughter took the photo. I discovered it on my SD card when I was sifting through a few of them. I cropped the image to make it fit on the web, but otherwise, the photo is completely untouched. WYSIWYG. Pretty amazing!

I think it would make a stunning computer desktop image. Speaking of such…. computers really haven’t gone down much in price, have they? I have been searching for a cheap little thing for my son to use for school, and the prices are outrageous! They certainly haven’t gone down at all. I haven’t yet checked buy cheap desktops online at the source, though. Maybe I’ll find something affordable there.

Have a good weekend, friends. :)

??? Can you find it?

I’ve been to the Adirondacks twice in the past 2 weeks. I’ve been desperately needing to get away from the hustle and bustle of city/suburban living, away from the traffic and shopping malls and metal buildings and out into the great outdoors. I adore the Adirondacks. I’d live there year round, if I could.

I’ve snapped hundreds of photos while up there, but I’m still unable to name the mountains. They baffle me. I’m especially interested in Mount Marcy. The photo above was taken from Blue Mountain (elevation approximately 3500 feet)… maybe I’m looking in the wrong direction. I’ve seen others’ photos of Mount Marcy, but I am unable to grasp any identifying features. The highest mountain in New York looks like a… well, a regular old mountain! No knobs, no quirks.

You know, someday, I’m going to CLIMB that mountain.
