I am definately ready for spring to arrive in this part of New York State! Yesterday, the temperature was just over 0 degrees C (32 degrees F.), but we had some snow last night. Today it was sunny, but colder. The temperature was about
-7 degrees C (20 degrees F) with a very chilly wind.
The high snow banks are everywhere, even though they melted a bit yesterday or the city has begun to cut them back. I feel like I am living in a gigantic igloo that is never going to melt. (Well, the snow banks may start to disappear in June!)
So, I went back through my photos again. This is the photo of the waterfalls that I wrote about yesterday in my blog. The falls are used by a company in order to harness hydroelectric power. This is why the falls are on private land. However, the company allows the public to visit the falls during a few weeks in the spring and fall.
I really enjoy visiting this area during the spring and autumn. There is usually more water flowing during the spring, but the autumn colors are beautiful in this area. I enjoy walking the trails and lugging my camera equipment around. I usually end up meeting members from my local camera club there.
So, I am looking forward to the spring weather so that I can go and visit Trenton Falls again at the end of April or in May. I know that I have taken photos here before, but it will be wonderful to get out, hike, and take photos. It always amazes me when I can go out and take different photos of the same subject with a fresh prespective. As Marcel Proust once wrote, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."
Hopefully, I am going to New York City tomorrow with my friend Mare. (I am praying for a safe trip!) We are taking the train to the City. We will see "Les Miserables" on Broadway. I am going to bring my Canon point and shoot camera, so I will try to take a few photos. (I only bring the DSLR when I stay in NYC for a night or two.) I hope that everyone has a great weekend. I will check in on your blogs again on Sunday!
