Today's hike. I've done this trail before but never in the snow. Slow going but beautiful.
#snow #Adirondacks

A snowy path in a forest. It looks black and white. The tree trunks are dark and there's deep white snow, and gray sky.

Hay bales and autumn forests.

#adirondacks #champlainvalley
A view across a wide vista with blue skies and clouds overhead, mountains in the distance and a large field filled with hay bales between two expanses of  mostly leafless trees.

True understanding and intelligence depend upon an individual's ability to turn an idea around in the brain and verbalize (or write) it clearly.... The human mind is a synthetic instrument.

A cloudless soft blue sky, a sun-dappled woodland of mature spruce, fir and northern hardwoods. The mossy forest floor features several moss-covered boulders and patches of bright green ferns and low leafy ground cover. A great deal of fallen twigs and small branches seem to indicate recent storms. A muddy trail runs through the trees, one of which sports a circular blue trail marker.

Giant meadow, Northville-Placid Trail, Blue Mountain Wild Forest, Adirondack Preserve, New York. September 11, 2024, 1:05 PM.

Looking across a vast meadow of waist-high golden-brown grass with occasional strands of green grass and a few leafy green plants. A nearby single spruce tree frames the scene to our left. Far across the meadow is a forest of mostly spruce and fir with some northern hardwoods starting to turn fall colors. This forest continues up the flank and along the gently undulating crest of a long relatively low mountain running along the horizon. A cloudless deep blue sky.

Annual outing with students to Malone, New York to see thousands of Snow Geese during their migration south from the Arctic. (Also thousands of Canada Geese and a chance to see Cackling and Ross’s Geese as well). Such a blast!
(p.s. this is not a silent video, the geese are quite loud for immersive experience)
