MEMORIAL DAY 2012

In memory of those who gave all.

COHOES FALLS, NEW YORK

This panoramic is a "stitching" from four separate images.

This is the Cohoes Falls in the upstate NY area, part of the Mohawk River.  It is the second largest waterfalls in New York State.  (Niagara Falls being the largest).


It has a lot of history behind it, much of it relating to the Mohawk Indians.


Because it changes so often, (from roaring to dry and everywhere in between), the photographer is constantly drawn back to it.  I thrilled at the opportunity to add this to my collection, and have a growing urge to grab as many more panorama's as I can.

ON MOTHER'S DAY

Thank you to all moms everywhere!

OF COURSE I PHOTOGRAPHED THE FULL MOON

The largest full moon of the year

I had to stay awake to get this photo, so my daughter and I stayed up to watch an old black and white thriller.  At midnight I stepped outside onto the deck and had a stellar view!

What made this event more enjoyable was the realization that many thousands of people were taking their version of this "lesser light" also.
