Deep in the heart ... of the Adirondacks

Old Forge, New York

 It's a place that you just have to wander through. Take your time; because, there are so many things that are hidden gems.

Each turn of the road revealed another opportunity to take in the personality of the town.

It's hard to describe what a "road turn off" can reveal. The turn off (with a photo opt opportunity indicated) turns into a lovely, quiet moment that makes you take a deep breath, smell the pine trees and watch the snow fall ... ever so gently.

Keep wandering and new color emerges. The W.W.Durant is iced in  but full of promise. Time to put that tour on my list.

Raquette Lake, NY

Raquette Lake seems to say - look at me now but come back!

It's lovely.

Heading even further north .... Long Lake emerges from the clouds.

And, the clouds lift off the mountains; telling me there is more.

So that's part of the heart of it all. My soul is happy.
