Yesterday, I took a walk in our local little cemetery that's located in Rockland Lake State Park. It is so peaceful there and it was such a beautiful day. It's just so nice to be outside with the sun shining down upon you after being in the house so much this winter. I know that soon it will be very warm and I will be trying my best to avoid the sun but, for now, I'm enjoying it.
The trees have really taken a beating these last few years. Hurricane Sandy took so many of them down and then this winter did a number on them as well.
A lot of the wooded areas look like such jumbled messes. These toppled trees are located just above where the cemetery is. I like to drive up there to look for deer. A mama and her yearling were there enjoying some grass. Sometimes they'll be a whole group of them and if you have food for them they will come right over to the car. My son had one eat a McDonald's french fry right out of his hand!!
Little brat stuck his tongue out at me!!! : ) |
I also saw a few wild turkeys running around one of the golf courses. They've really made a come back over the years. It was a rare occurrence to see them even as little as five years ago.
We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful part of New York state. It definitely makes for great photo taking!!! : )
Many blessings for a wonderful day ~ Wendy
