I was fascinated by this large tree stump and roots along the lake shore…. Read More
One of the nicest places to hike in the winter is Taughannock Falls State Park. The park features a 1 mile trail that is pretty level and relatively easy to navigate even in the snow.

I think I often find snakes to photograph on accident or by pure chance. Sometimes I show up… Read More
