My long drive home today was made less painful because of the amazing full moon setting over the Adirondacks as the sun was rising over the Green Mountains. It was just magical as the mist hovered just about the ground and the darkness turned to light. The views as I crossed Lake Champlain on the ferry were breathtaking. I wish every morning could start like this one!
Crossing Lake Champlain on the ferry today was as magical as ever. The sun was catching the water just right that made it look like diamonds or stars sparkling on the surface of the water. Doesn't it make you want to jump in and gather them up to put in your pocket for a cloudy day? As I was driving off of the ferry I put in Paul Simon's song, Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes. It seemed appropriate, no?She's a rich girl She don't try to hide it Diamonds on the soles of her shoes He's a poor boy Empty as a pocket Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose I have also updated the progress of the tulip tree bud...check it out http://wide-angle-lens.blogspot.com/2009/04/13-april-2009-photo-rebirth.html
On my way home today, I took the ferry across Lake Champlain. It is something that I have done several times over the last few years and it never gets boring. I love seeing the Adirondacks on one side and the Green Mountains on the other side. Since it is the dead of winter, the lake is frozen. While I prefer this trip in the fall when the colors are vibrant, the winter is pretty cool too.
My friend Brad was also on his way to NY so I convinced him to go on the ferry as well. As we hit the ice and watched it/heard it crack, Brad asked..."Haven't these people ever seen the movie, Titanic?" Ha! I gave him a lesson on Champ, The Lake Monster. If look close at this picture, you can almost see Champ lurking in the deep dark icy waters, can't you? If you can't, maybe Champ is visiting his cousin Nessie over in Scotland for the winter.
