I heart the trees along the shoreline at Cascade Lakes, even the dead ones.

I was lucky enough to take my kayak out onto both lakes a few different times when I visited in late summer.

The moss-covered boulders and Great Blue Heron I encountered there were the only things that beat the birches there. Photos coming soon.

Pouring rain here today. Glad I took the time to enjoy the brilliance of the little Japanese maple I planted in our front yard a few years ago. Just look at that backlit sun one from last evening.that rounds out the series!

Moving slowly like a turtle today.

I have a NYS Empire Pass so that I can get into state parks for free all summer long. This was from my second visit but first kayak paddle at Lincoln Pond State Park.

I saved my most awesome Bald Eagle encounter for today, when democracy seems to be at stake.

On one of my last kayak days in September, I was excited after spending an hour watching a Great Blue Heron. When I got back to shore, a couple asked if I saw the eagles behind me. I hadn't, but I did hear them in the woods catching their prey. They startled me and the GBH with how loud it was.

I quickly paddled back out and got to watch one eagle on land with their meal and it's mate up in a tree waiting it's turn. It got comical when a rowboat came around the corner alerting the one on the shore, who then did this funny little leg slide thing to hide the prey in the longer grass before flying off.

On this All Souls Day, I thought I would share a marker from Glens Falls Cemetery, which is about a mile from my house.

Duncan James McIntosh was born in Melton, Victoria, Australia in 1857, was naturalized at Lake George, NY in 1905 and passed away on Christmas Day in 1931 at a hospital in Utica, NY.

It seems like he was quite the character -- from the French Foreign Legion soldier of fortune and scholar to living in a shack along the Feeder Canal. Someone cared enough to get a nice stone for his burial place though.

Based on The Post-Star newspaper articles, he was often the victim of crime. In one instance though, the police said he wasn't injured and blamed it on his dementia instead. He was also at the scene of multiple fires while acting as the nightwatchman from his hut along the canal. One time, he served cocoa and doughnuts to the firefighters.

"Our Lady of Grace" (who you see as you enter Norton Cemetery in Keene, NY) had something special in her right hand when I visited in late August.

Based on the color, this chrysalis probably had a few more weeks of transformation until emerging as a Monarch butterfly.

The last image shows a few milkweed plants growing nearby.

Sharing photos from our trip over the state border for Quechee Scottish Games and Festival last August.

Yes, this is drum major heavy (that's the reason we go to highland games) but scroll through to see some other participants and a few wee dugs who joined the clan parade.

Norton Cemetery in Keene, NY offers the best view from its hillside, and has some pretty interesting stones.

Lillian Partridge was a teacher at Lake Placid School for 30 years, 44 years overall, and her ancestor settled in Keene in the early 1800s. Eugene Partridge was a carpenter at Lake Placid Club.

"Our Lady of Grace" will be featured in an upcoming series because she had something very special in her right hand.

Moody black-and-white edits of the birds I saw from afar from my kayak or car during my vacation in the Adirondacks late last August. Not the best shots I took but I think they tell a story and often the backgrounds were the most interesting parts.
