We just got back from the "Beaver Pond Lodge," about 11 miles off I-87 near Brant Lake,
New York. It's beautiful up there -- lots of green, and various shades of green:
the evergreen leaves are darker I think than the leaves that came out in the past
few weeks. It's wet -- thunderstorms every day we stayed there and we got hail
a few times too -- which I guess goes along with the green.
The lodge is maybe a quarter-mile up an unpaved road. The stream setting
at right is across the street from the lodge, no more than 50 yards up a trail.
We went out in the evening and, in a tiny pool of water alongside the road,
Jenny spotted the frog you see at left.
At the corner of Beaver Pond Road and North Beaver Pond Road is a path leading to a
little floating dock with views of what I suppose is Beaver Pond, shown below.
These photos give an idea of how peaceful and quiet it is -- when the hail isn't falling
and the thunder isn't thundering that is. One of these days
I might match the exposures and stitch the photos together...
