Also taken during our recent jaunt up Mt. Jo near Lake Placid.

I like how the details of the snowflakes are almost in focus.

We went for a walk with Mom and her herd of small dogs when we were visiting over Christmas. It was pretty late in the afternoon when we started, so the sun was about to set by the time we headed back to the car. (That’s all ice in the foreground. Stay tuned for more.)

In Lake Holland, the pond out behind Mom’s house.

Also, does that girl with the red suitcase have a djembe backpack?!

Along with the radio tower up on top of the adjacent Brooklyn Technical High School.

After a raucous New Years Eve with Shemp, I woke up earlier than I would have like on New Years Day. Nobody else was up, so I went for a wander around Fort Greene. There’s a big monument in the park right next to Shempy’s apartment that I’d never seen up close (the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument). I don’t know if the Society of Old Brooklynites had anything to do with the monument other than that they affixed a plaque with their name on it.

After our hike (see yesterday’s photo) we thought about taking a shortcut across the frozen lake to get back to the car. We saw a wet spot nearby and decided to just take the trail.

We did a quick hike with Dad recently starting at the Adirondak Loj and going up Mt. Jo. We’d recently bought MICROspikes ™, so scrambling up the numerous icy bends in the trail was no problem. Sarah jetted out ahead every chance she got!

I can tell because they left footprints in the snow.
