11 February 2010: Snow Fraud!

So you may have heard, the storm of the year was a fraud! Total fall in the area I was (Foxboro/North Easton, MA) was only 4-6 inches. That is nothing compared to the 12-18 inches they were predicting. It was a beautiful morning on my way to my meeting so I stopped along the way at Borderland Park and took some pictures (HDR) of the wet heavy snow that did fall.

The mid-Atlantic region was not so lucky. There is record snow in DC and Philly. I am glad I live in Syracuse - "the snow capital" :)

16 August 2009 Photo(s): Fields Of Gold

I went to the sunflower fields in Camillus again this year. I went several times last year when they had the sunflower maze. This year, since there has been so much rain and less sun, the flowers did not get as tall so I think they decided just to have these amazing fields of gold. They were still gorgeous but not quite as tall as last year and no maze. But if you are looking for a cool place to see thousands of sunflowers, the Veterans Memorial Park in Camillus is the place to go. It is free to park and walk around and the flowers are at their peak right now.

Mona, Bill and I went for a walk this morning down to the park. It is a warm day today and the lake is finally all thawed. Mona went in and took her first dip of the season but it only last a few seconds because I imagine the water is still pretty cold.

The cat tails are spreading their seeds and getting ready for the new season to begin. So as not be to outdone by the cat, Mona also felt the need to spread her seeds all over the park as well by marking her territory.
