Park Fountain

San Angelo has a beautiful park at one end of the town and there are a couple of fountains in it.  I didn't have my tripod with me, so I couldn't slow down the speed much more than this, but I still like the way it came out.  It was hot that day, but at least most of the paths through the park were in shade.

In the Adirondacks

This beautiful scene is in the Adirondacks of New York State.

Grandma and baby

My daughter is crazy about the little one.

My great-granddaughter with her grandpa

The little one made the rounds with the adults she knew while we were on the boat.

Granddaughter and Great-granddaughter

We went to the lake today.  It was overcast and just the right temperature for a ride on the boat.

The little one was getting tired so she was snuggling with her mom.

She just turned one last week. She's adorable but I haven't seen her enough for her to be used to me yet.

Two Rivers

These two river converge at this spot.  In the lower left corner there's a dock for loading boats into the river and a picnic area.

Yankee Hill Lock

This is the remnant of the Yankee Hill Lock when goods were moved from the east side of NY to the west side by waterway.  To the left of the image is the Mohawk River.  

This is a destination spot with the original store in between the lock and the river (not seen).  During the summer there are concerts held in front of the store.  There are also picnic tables and grills scattered around for people to have picnics and meetings.

Farm near the lake

This farm is near the shore of the Great Sacandaga Lake in upstate NY.  Below it, nearer the water line, is a beautiful house~~maybe where the farm owners live.  

This is such a serene image!!

Small Sandy Island

The Great Sacandaga Lake is dotted with islands of various sizes, and this small sandy lake seems to attract folks who like the isolation of it.

Along the Mohawk River

Just a beautiful scene with the trees and grass in bloom and the blue sky in the background.

Red and Green Fire Hydrant

I never saw colored fire hydrants until I moved to Abilene.

Fishing

It was another beautiful early spring day today.  

EASTER

I took a short ride to get out of the house and went to the lake near my place.  There were many folks at the lake fishing and enjoying the day.

I managed to get a pic of this guy without him noticing me.

Water Pipes

These pipes look fairly new and they're located on the side of one of the downtown buildings in Abilene.

Indoor Plant

I love this Pothos plant.  It grows under crazy conditions.  There's almost nothing you can do to destroy it, except maybe not giving it any water.  I have some of them growing in dirt, but I love the way this looks growing in a water vase.

Branson, MO

Several months ago some of the people from church headed to Branson, MO to see the play

"David".  We stayed for two nights at a bnb, and this was the view from the deck. 

A little different than the view from anywhere in TX that I've seen.

Be the Change

Graffiti on a wall in the abandoned Power Station on the outskirts of Abilene, Texas, with happy faces on the door next to it.

Abilene State Park Pond

I decided to take a ride to the state park this morning.  In all the times I've gone to the park, I've never seen the water in the pond this low.  It's a total surprise since we've had more rain this summer than in the past 5 summers, so what's the deal????

A Stream

This beautiful stream is located in New Braunfels, Texas.  There's nothing like this near Abilene, so it was irresistible and I couldn't resist getting the shot.

Pool Closed

Some of the saddest words ever.  

In Texas it's in the low 90s until the end of Sept or beginning of Oct, so why, I wonder, 

does the pool close so early?  So discouraging.
