I've so enjoyed seeing (some of) Monica's thread of her time in the Wind River Range. And I'm anxious to look back at more of them. I was there in late August with Dave Fantle. It was a mesmerizing (well, and exhausting) 6 days from Big Sandy via Fremont Trail and Haley Pass to Washakie Pass...
I've been away from the forum for quite a bit, but very happy to be back.
I very much enjoyed my wander through the forum today, and I do have some images from a wonderful 6 day journey in the Wind River range.
I'm rusty with the processing (well, and photography), but I'll work my way back...
On the recent trip to the AMR, the day before the FW visit with Amy and her husband, conditions were good on the Ausable River. Here's a sampling:

Though we didn't have the best of conditions, Amy, her husband and I had a great outing in the Adk Mtn. Reserve and found a few scenes along the Ausable River:
First, the Sunset at Indian Head
Second, the footprint of the current of the Ausable River:
Third, the end of the West...
Drove an hour north this morning to catch a sunrise along the Sacandaga Basin; it was supposed to be a nice, sunny day with 50% cloud cover. This is my go-to canoe river.
The clouds were thick, very little light got through, but when some openings appeared I found a spot to access the river by...
Spring is arriving in the Northeast; more greens, yellows and buds arrive daily; and when the blooms fully arrive, so will the bugs (and the mud). So I wanted to have more flexibility in photographing Adirondack scenes from a new perspective, and decided I needed a new canoe light enough to...
Spring is hitting the Northeast; got in my last pond ice-skate in yesterday at the lean-to; maybe just a few more xc ski and snowshoe trips before the workable snow departs the Adirondacks. So I broke into the archives and pulled out 2 views of a trip years ago to Shi-Shi. Martin and Don Hall...
We've had two days of near 60 degrees in the Southern Adirondacks; losing snow almost hourly. Up north we can still ski and snowshoe, but in Central NY it's almost done. I processed an older image of a nice freeze on a local creek; thought I'd post:

I went into the Adirondacks on the first cold, frosty day at the end of October, hoping to find an interesting scene after all of the fall colors had passed.
I drove by this scene - and wanted to shoot, but there was little light in the Sacandaga Basin, so i kept moving along. Didn't find much...
So I'm coping with COVID as we all are. Even though winter gives some opportunities for outdoor activities: snowshoeing, xc skiing and skating, I'm still bemoaning the loss of travel opportunities. So I spent a little time looking back at a 9/19 very rewarding trip to the Enchantments...
So I lost my Toller (dog) earlier in the year, and Robyn lost her Terrier right around Thanksgiving, and we were bemoaning the quiet household as Christmas approached. Just before Christmas we got a burst of cold, a deep freeze and an early snowstorm, so I headed up for a sunrise shot just...
Just before meeting Dean for our winter outing, I stopped at Chappel Pond, which is now frozen, and easier to access. Caught some climbers just above the "belly button" of the image.

I'll try not to sound too happy for those still grinding out the work hours and juggling family with work and photography -- but I retired at the end of the year; and can spend a little more time in the woods, in the snow, with our 10 year old, and in the Adirondacks -- and when circumstances...

A couple from an extended weekend in the Adirondacks, where we hit a few new sites, and some old favorites:
A trail along the Boreas River to the Eddy
The Boreas River, above the trailhead
We spent some time in these falls to spruce-up, and cool off.

There is an issue with Uploading Photos (attachjments). I am not sure what the problem is, and I am looking into it. You can still try to Create your Threads and Upload your Photos, but it is hanging up during the Upload.
