I Love New York Travel

Taken at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, NY.

Isn’t the blue color amazing! The fish silhouettes are a little creepy, but no so creepy that it’s repulsive. The fish are trout. They seemed surprisingly tame. Maybe that’s just my interpretation, I don’t know. Wherever we walked around the aquarium, they followed us. For the photo above, I had walked to the far side of the aquarium, and they came to me. Then, I quickly, walked to the other side. They followed. I snapped the photo. How odd they are! But kind of fun. Do fish have personality?! These seemed to have it.

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.
