Melting Snow and Clouds on the Raquette River
I was driving by the bridge in Potsdam - next to Trinity Church - I had to stop my car and take the photo - it was just breathtaking!!!
Ice Formations on Deer River
These ice formations were very cool to see on the banks of the Deer River and low over hanging tree branches. It was sad to see the ice formations melt when the temp warms up.
1st Snow Fall for 2020 on Tug Hill
This was our 1st snowfall for 2020. The one thing I remember that day besides all the snow was all the creeks, beaver pond in the back and snow covered brush & trees. It was a beautiful view!
Peaceful Creek
I find this creek very relaxing especially when the colors are almost at their peak.
Winter Wonderland
We just got 8 inches of fresh snow which covered everything up making this creek even more beautiful.
Little bit of Blue Sky after Snow Storm
Once the snow settles after a good snow storm it is a good time to go exploring. I love to see little bit of blue sky peeping out through the clouds.
Geese getting ready to migrate south
I decided to explore the banks of Deer River in Copenhagen. I was just amazed how many geese were in the Deer River and that the geese just kept coming and coming. I guess they did not want to stay around for winter.
