23 July 2010: Keuka Lake

Bill and I went out to see Kelly and Chris at Keuka Lake where Chris' parent own a house. It was a picture perfect day - lunch by the lake, a boat ride, cute puppy and fun friends (oh and Bill got some good Weyerbacher beer with lunch - thanks Chris).

17 May 2010: Stewart Park

I stopped by Stewart Park in Ithaca today before an appointment. This place is always so calming and I love the effect of the HDR process on a picture I have taken many times before.

25 April 2009 Photos: Itsy Bitsy Sunrising Spiders

We got up early this morning and went to watch the sunrise on Skaneateles Lake. Bill took me to Mirbeau Inn and Spa to celebrate my birthday which was last month. While we were walking in town witnessed the bright sun rising over the church in town and also caught the itsy bitsy spider preparing her breakfast. The sun was so bright, I did not get the web in the photo, but I like the way the spider and flies appear to just be hanging in mid air.

The day turned out to be in the upper 80s and we enjoyed the rest of the day with a picnic on the lake, relaxing at the spa and wandering through the stores in town.

27 March 2009 Photo: Handcrafted in Central NY

I stopped at MacKenzie Childs and am always overwhelmed by all the colors. This is another one of the central NY claims to fame. This upscale, extremely expensive pottery and furniture is very unique and colorful. I can't see having much of it in our house as it is not really my style. However there are a few pieces I like, but can't afford. We do have a very cool MacKenzie-Childs forged iron dinner/door bell on our house (it was a gift). It is a great place to visit and it is right on one of the finger lakes (Cayuga) which is gorgeous.
