So yesterday Barbara, Ellie and I visited the nearby Caledon State Park. Caledon State Park is located along the shore of the Potomac River, just up stream fromContinue reading “Caledon State Park”

Harvest Moon
Today it is raining lightly, so we’re relaxing and staying inside. I’m baking some bread and thought while the trailer fills with the smell of bread baking, I would post some photos of the harvest moon that we recently had. For us, this full moon came up over Patten Pond, Maine. I took my cameraContinue reading “Harvest Moon”

Morning Reflections
This morning, when I got up, I looked out the window and noticed that the nearby lake was as smooth as glass. So I grabbed my camera and headed down to the shore to take some photos. Take a look!

Salmon River Falls
This morning, Barbara, Ellie and I headed north, 16 miles from the Bass Lake Resort in Parish, New York, to the Salmon River Falls. This area of New York is beautiful this time of year as you’ll see in the photos below.
Niagara Falls
This morning, Barbara, Ellie, and I traveled back into Canada to get, likely our last look, of Niagara Falls. This time we wanted to see it from the Canadian side, because in my opinion, this is the best vantage point of both the American and the Canadian Falls. This time there was no Covid-19 restrictions,Continue reading “Niagara Falls”
Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory
Recently, Barbara and I visited the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory in Louisville, Kentucky.

Mr. Browning, at that time,Continue reading “Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory”
