The Beauty of Saratoga

I'm on a little getaway with my sister for the week.  Our first stop is Saratoga Springs, NY.

I took these photos this morning at the Saratoga Spa State Park.

It was a very frosty morning...

It's amazing how the minerals built up around the mineral spring water spout.

Next stop, NYC for the rest of the week.  

This country mouse will be navigating the subway for the first time, alone. 

Wish me luck!

Thankful

There's so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. 

My daughter made it home safe and sound last night.  Thank you, US Airways!

My son is happy in school and doing well and an all-around great kid.

My sister will be joining us for Thanksgiving dinner as well as my brother and sister-in-law.

And I'm also thankful that Tony doesn't always get to the chores that he has planned to do.  Case in point, painting the shed.

My photo of our shed placed first in last night's camera club photo competition.  I don't think it would have had the same impact without the texture of the worn paint.  And with that, I'm off to make the stuffing!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

The Sky's on Fire

One of the best things about fall are the amazing sunsets and sometimes sunrise as well.  I took this on Monday up at our pool shed. 

It was definitely one to remember.  Took my breath away.
