Setset and fall

 Last nights sunset was very unique.  Blood red and covering the whole sky.

It rained all day but we managed to get this stream with our camera covered with plastic covering.

Flint Creek at Phelps,NY

 The cascade showing some of the trees changing colour.

A little colour.

Just before the rain started ...

 I think this is a Dandelion, but not quite sure

This little guy escaped from Grenville who ran past the tree but was happy to have caused panic and havoc in the neighborhood.

Woodducks

Young Wild ducks getting ready for a flight south

Probably the last of the flowers

 Milkweed

 Don't know what these next two are but I like the pix.

Yellow

Yellow is the current theme

This is Yellow #1

 

 

 

 

New stuff on the blog - I can now caption an image and do some other things to control the page.

Fishers Park

This deer ran from where we first saw her then stopped and looked and waited till I got my camera out of my bag, pulled the lens cap and turned it on. I don't think she could see Grenville in the weeds or she would have been long gone.
I think this is an Iron Heron.
If you look very closely to the left of center then down about center you can see the Iron Heron. As you can also see it is out in the middle of nothing. A little strange.

Milkweed

Milkweed with morn dew in the morning light.
This spider may be turning vegan ( or just have bad luck).

Just a couple pictures

The Bristol Hills. Actually Bristol Mtn Ski slope. with Swamp Milkweed in the foreground.
A picture from 100 yrs ago as the caboose crosses the Giant Creek in Victor on the Auburn Line despite the Lehigh Valley on the car. Actually it is now on a siding for the old Lehigh.

Grapes, spiders and Jays

NY wild grapes ready to pick
A spider wraps up dinner for later with out disturbing the dew drops on it's web.
Some Blue Jays just can't shut up!

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.
