Hunt’s Pond 2011

     I re-visited Hunt’s Pond State park and even though it was still closed (I believe for snow/ice on the road) I still took a walk to see. Here are a few photos I was able to grabbed on this trip. ;)

     I traveled to Pennsylvania to capture some nice autumn colors and see a park I haven’t yet been too. So I stumbled onto this beautiful park named Lackawanna State Park which had a nice waterfall, trails, picnic areas and of course autumn colors. ;)

     I traveled to the Adirondacks to see the start of the fall foliage and found this place. It was a few miles of wooded trails with some beautiful views ;)

Update:  More photos have been added from another section of the park. The photos were taken when the park was closed, thanks to the NY State governor. Luckily it is now open. :)

 

     Sadly here is another park that may be closed, Robert V. Riddell State park. “Robert V. Riddell of Colliersville wanted the woods, fields and meandering Schenevus Creek on his property to be preserved and accessible for generations to come.” Thankfully his family honored his wishes. Governor George Pataki turned it into a state park and said: “Securing this scenic open space ensures the continued protection of natural resources throughout the Susquehanna Valley, while increasing access to pristine parkland,” So once again I took a trip to the park while I still can and got a few more photos ;)

Bomoseen

     I had to travel to the New York/Vermont border, so I figured while there check to see if there were any parks in the area. I got somewhat lucky and found the Bomoseen State Park in Vermont, the unlucky part is it wasn’t open but I still got some photos.

     I took another look at a park I haven’t been to in years. Thanks to the State of New York the park will be closed, so I grabbed a couple of more photos while I still can. :)

Oquaga Creek

     With New York State goverment not able to balance there checking account, many things of beauty might no longer be available. On February 19, the New York State Parks Commissioner slated 41 parks for outright closure. Sadly Oquaga Creek State park will be one of these closures. So I took a trip to the park while I still can and got a few more photos ;)
