The best day of birdwatching locally that I have ever had, Maybe the best day of birdwatching overall. I am not one who usually subscribes to the belief that everything happens for a reason. But, I do think if things happen for a reason they lie more in the mundane everyday aspects of life than they do int the big amazing miraculous ways. And I was able to enjoy this amazing day… Read More

When I set out to take photos for a day I really like it if I can find a place where I can take a variety of different types of photographs all in one location. I love waterfalls and if I go to a place with waterfalls that is all I will probably photograph. So I need to go somewhere a little bit different. Someplace with a lot of space to move… Read More

I am a believer about having opinions about the things you as an individual can and should do. I am going… Read More
“A union of government and religion tends to destroy government and degrade religion. The history of governmentally established religion, both in England and in this country, showed that whenever government had allied itself with one particular form of religion, the inevitable result had been that it had incurred the hatred, disrespect and even contempt of those who held contrary beliefs.

Mother Nature has been cruel to us here in upstate NY of rate past month or so. After a particularly cold and brutal winter we thought we maybe were beginning to see the end of it. There were several day strings a few times of temperatures well above seasonal averages. It was really beginning to feel like spring was around the corner. But alas, Mother Nature was just toying with us. She… Read More
“Religion. The inefficacy of this restraint on individuals is well known. The conduct of every popular assembly, acting on oath, the strongest of religious ties, shews that individuals join without remorse in acts against which their consciences would revolt, if proposed to them separately in their closets.
