After returning from my trip to Maine, I found myself feeling still eager to do more photography. We flew up to New York to see our grandchildren and do some babysitting for our children, but I still managed to get away during a few of the days with my camera to do some serious work. When we first arrived, there was still some fading glory in the color of the trees, and the area in which our children live is very close to some beautiful spots: Bear Mountain State Park and Harriman State Park in the southeastern section of New York State. Both parks are marvelous at any time of the year, but the Fall is especially beautiful as the leaves go through their parade of color change. While perhaps not as vibrant as the colors that fill Maine during this time of the year, they are nonetheless still striking and highly photogenic. There are also a few lookouts that allow you to gaze down upon the Hudson River, and it is easy to see why this spot is so popular with tourists in the region. Looking up the river, the beauty is unmatched and a wonderful subject for photos. So I was able to spend several days out in nature with my camera, much to my delight. It also allowed me to come away with some nice new work for my portfolio.
