Today was a perfect day for forest bathing. The wind shook the trees sending the leaves of many colors through the air and over the waterfall to the babbling brook until finally resting on the mossy rocks. It was a great show!

MA: Berkshires Farm to Fork Event
Fall, biking, farm dinner, music, apple cider donuts, new friends, old friends, puddles, overlooks, sunshine . . . So many gifts from the weekend! Options to ride various number of miles from 15 to 125! The Berkshires are hilly so 70 was enough for me! Look up Farm to Fork Adventures and give back toContinue reading “MA: Berkshires Farm to Fork Event”
Sunset Stories
I was asked tonight if I ever tire taking pictures of the sunset. I enjoy not only sharing the beauty of the capture but I have a forever memory of who I was with, what we shared, watching that bird circle the rocks (that I slipped and fell upon from the slime), seeing the 5Continue reading “Sunset Stories”
CT: Newtown: Aquilas Nest Vineyard
A wonderful evening at Aquilas Nest at dueling pianos. Favorite wine is their Dry Rose While it was cloudy and humid, I found the moment when the sun peeked through to capture the sunset opportunities overlooking the vineyard. One my favorite vineyards in CT!
NY: Catskills of Sullivan County Shout Outs
While I love the Catskills, I found Sullivan County hit or miss so I share my favorites. Entertainment – Bethel Woods – cooking demonstrations and tasting – the home of 1969 Woodstock Dinner and Wine – Seminary Hill Vineyard Cattail Brook Falls- Livingston Manor – a bit hidden in plain sight. Livingston Manor Covered BridgeContinue reading “NY: Catskills of Sullivan County Shout Outs”
NY: New Paltz: Mohonk Preserve
On top of the world is how I felt as we climbed to see the view from the top of Bonticou Crag at the Mohonk Preserve. As it was Fathers Day, I reflected at the top of my Papa who would have been so nervous by knowing I made this climb. He was scared ofContinue reading “NY: New Paltz: Mohonk Preserve”
Inspiration: Magnolia Snow Flakes
I can hardly express how much joy I get from this tree – together with friends who each year return to view it with me. Especially in the spring where its flowers look like snow flakes in the foggy background I was gifted a wind chime with a low pitch gong that periodically reminds meContinue reading “Inspiration: Magnolia Snow Flakes”

CT: Madison: Hammonasset State Park
Enjoyed a wonderfully tranquil walk beach side. For several years I have gone to the Meig’s point area of Hammonasset in hopes to see a glimpse of the winter seals that are said to come near the shore. Fortunately I came upon a woman with binoculars to improve my view. The picture is at aContinue reading “CT: Madison: Hammonasset State Park”
NY: New Paltz: Mohonk Mountain House Mystery Weekend
Hands down Mohonk Mountain house provides an escape from the real world. It’s several miles away from civilization upon a mountain – just enough distance. Happily snowbound for the mystery and puzzle weekend, we all remained immersed in the 1920s during prohibition to uncover the clues to solve the case of who murdered Lulu! TheContinue reading “NY: New Paltz: Mohonk Mountain House Mystery Weekend”
