The Auburn Line

This Caboose says Lehigh, but is really sitting on the old Auburn Line Tracks. It just looks like it could have been there 100 years ago.
This is a siding of the Lehigh that comes over to the Old Auburn

Hawk, deer and a sunset

Last night's sunset
A couple deer just enjoying the weather and lush fields.
A Red Tail Hawk circling looking for dinner. Have not seen these guys much all summer.

Monarch vs Viceroy

This is the Viceroy. Notice the Black band across the hind wing, it is not on the Monarch
This is the Monarch

Geocaching along the Erie Canal

We went Geocaching along the Erie Canal today and this is what we found an incredibly small magnetic cache. I thought it was just the magnet and the cache had fallen somewhere.
This a boat you can rent and travel the canal. It is just like the old packet boats, but has a motor instead of a mule for much less muss and fuss.
The grapes are getting ripe. This is a bunch of real Native American wild grapes.

A cloudy, dark day

Same picture as below just playing with Pixel Bender in PhotoShop.
It's cloudy and dark so we nailed the flash units on the camera and took pictures of "whatever"

Hi Tor Game Mgmnt area

Some very early signs of fall are starting to appear.
Just a pond.

A dull week

I saw this bear at the park today. Ok, it is Coco the Newfie but she sure looks like a bear particularly since I blurred the picture.
It has been a while since I uploaded any pictures. I just realized this. The week has been very hot and muggy with no real picture ops. So these pictures a lame but all I've got.
