Color pattern ....

Wild Center, Tupper Lake, NY
Discovery is exciting!


Webster NY
As I contemplated my blog this morning, I let my senses drive me ... which is what I normally do anyway. Happening upon my favorite ducks ... because of their color, I went along for the ride (so to speak).

 



 I was pretty ramped up with intensity. Bring on all those bright, beautiful colors!
Alaska

Santa Fe, New Mexico
They're everywhere!








Old favorites kept emerging.
Waitsfield, Vermont

Silverton, Colorado
Mt Rainer, Washington
Saranac Lake, NY
However, there is a common theme .. the color scheme remains consistent. 
The jewel tones of life!

Hurd Orchard, Holley, NY ... pure joy!

 I can't help but feel that I have stepped into an master artist painting when I wander Hurd Orchard.
The displays, colors  .. the creativity just sends my senses into pure bliss.


I am going to let you wander  ... and I hope my pictures give you the chance to experience what I do. 

Enjoy!































Well, How did I do?

Harrisville, NY .... Oswagatchi River Beauty

Harrisville, NY Oswagatchi River

 I have never regretted stopping my vehicle to get out and explore a little town. Sometimes it takes me a few passes through to actually do some exploring, but what matters is ... I did it.  Never mind that it took 43 years to do it!

 I have no defensible argument ... except that I was always in a hurry to get to my destination.


  ... and enjoy what is right there for the taking.

 This little town of about 630 people, had the vision to develop a natural section of the Oswagatchi River ... right in their town. As I was once again, driving past this scenic overlook, my brain finally engaged and I explored how to get down to the gazebo. 
 But ... what goes down, must come up ..... up the hill (on foot) ...because, I just have to get the perfect vantage point!
 

Once again, I have to say, "It's simply beautiful; isn't it?".

I will stop again.  Next time I will walk the path and "drink in" another perspective of this lovely little town.










I'm glad they had the vision .... and that they made it happen. Kudos to you Harrisville people!


In 43 years, All I knew about this town was Jim Scanlon bread. :)

Just lovely!
