I love taking pictures of everything, and cant wait til spring to get busy with the camera!
        This sunset was captured at Cayuga Lake, Ithaca, NY They have those cool dinner cruise deals.. I will recommend the cruise & beautiful sights - but NOT the food.. the tomato soup course tasted like GREEN PEPPER soup - YUCK.
         
      This used to be one of "our spots".. we had taken a garbage can & made the creek deeper in one big section - but the city came and filled it up - you can see it in the pic as it is the huge hump with water on both sides. I have told many stories about this area, over the years. A hot air balloon had crash landed there, i killed a snake on accident & then tried (unsucessfully) to save the babies that came out. It was at that time that i learned that there should be NO live-bearing snakes around here - so what was it? Prob sombodys pet let loose. This is where I found the sculpin that had greenish-blue eyes, prob from pollution, but some guys at cryptozoology.com thought it was another thing that shouldnt have been there. Also found a skull of SOMETHING weird, (dog with horses mane hair?) but the little kids that noticed it first wanted to take it home & did. Eventually I will add another pic of this spot, during the flood, if i can ever find it. Its a great placxe to catch tadpoles & minnows...
           
            Took this pic from my porch the day of the spiediefest & balloon rally..
             
          Sometimes we just ~drive~ and this was one of those evenings.. Pic taken from the area they call "south mountain", looking down at Binghamton...
         
    This is from the campsite about 1 1/2 hrs from Binghamton, roughly 2 hours from NYC. I have been trying to find the name of it - but all I know is that a woman who used to own a securities company in the WTC building - decided to leave the area after Sept. 11, and came here to buy the old campground & I suppose re-establish herself. Camp was loking REAL good & we had a ball - EVEN my ex from the city who had never camped before...

                  A beautiful wolf from the ROSS PARK ZOo....
         
      Cute scene from AQUA TERRA PARK in Binghamton/Conklin NY, about an hour before they kicked me out & asked me to never come back.. i am still a little hurt about it too - if MY blazer can fit up the path the Quads go on, WHY CANT I DRIVE UP THERE??? I did, and came back down safely w/o hurting anyone, but they waited for me to come down & kicked our asses out.
         
                Scene thru my screen door when we had the flood......
