It’s another dreary autumn day in Upstate New York. Temperatures have been hovering in the 40s and 50s, and it’s drizzled or rained all week. We are making lemonade out of lemons, though. We’ve been baking and cleaning. My daughter makes an awesome peach pie, and we’ve made two this week!
For Photo Hunters today, the [...]
I can’t believe it’s Saturday already! This week has just flown by.
We went out to Cicero, NY, to pick up our new kitten this week. The area we visited is very close to New York’s largest inland lake, Lake Oneida. I grew up along the western rim of the lake. I didn’t realize how much [...]
Well this is an easy theme for the New York Traveler! I love roads, especially open ones. This is one of my favorite photos. It’s Route 9 in the Adirondack Park, near Lake George. It is a wild, rugged place. This is the road that made me carsick for the first time in 20 years. [...]
Today’s theme is “wild,” which can have various interpretations: wild/crazy, wild/untame; wild/amazing. I didn’t know what to choose! I don’t have any wild animals around here that I could photopgraph, but we do have a lot of bugs around here. Hey, insects are wild, right? And they are wild as in crazy, untame, AND amazing, [...]
I’m not feeling so well today so I’m going to skip Photo Hunters. I hope to visit participating sites. Have a blessed day and Happy Photo Hunt!
This was so hard for me! Everything is beautiful, how could I possibly choose?! I’ll try my best, because I do like Photo Hunters so much. You can click on the links to see more photos about our travels to each of these places.
Things that are colorful are beautiful.
This is glassware from the Corning Museum [...]
Today’s theme is to find something wrinkled. I have just the thing today! Look– it’s a real cat mummy! We saw this when we visited the Museum of Oddities in Cazenovia. The founder of the museum, back in the 1800s, had traveled to Egypt to obtain artifacts and mummies for the collection. This kitty is [...]
I can think of so many wonderfully colorful things, but the first thing that comes to mind is my lovely flower garden. Everything is finally in full bloom, and I am in my glory! Here are some photos I took for my other blog– but the gardens are so beautiful I thought I’d post them [...]
UPDATE: I didn’t know it until after I posted this– I was checking news headlines this afternoon; I see that last night some people were trapped in the Empire State Building elevators when construction workers had accidentally severed power lines to the building. OOPS! These folks were REALLY in the dark! All is well, although [...]
Despite being a cloud lover, I am not much of a cloud photographer. I only have a handful of photos. I am looking forward to seeing others’ photos, because I think there are a lot of cloud photographers out there! I’ll leave you with a few of my measly photos.
Here’s a shot I took of

Well, here’s a weird thing I have for you this week. Hair wreaths! Yes, hair wreaths! I’d never, ever heard of them until we saw them at the Old Stone Fort in Schoharie, NY. I guess they were all the rage in the mid-1800s, especially during the Civil War era. In an era when women [...]
