Views
- The Old Hayfield was unvisited after the recent snows.
- Just a few deer trails were evident.
- I didn't notice at the time, but there was a sun dog: that bright spot in the sky above and to the right of Gifford House.
- The blending of the steps and the tree shadows was interesting.
- And how they bent around the edge of the snow, too.
- By the Old Oak amongst a group of white-throated sparrows was a fox sparrow!
- There was quite a bit of bird activity in the junipers in the Old Pasture as well.
- My favorite view of the Wappinger Creek was splendid.
- A mallard erupted from the little brook that feeds into the Creek.
- The bottom of the Old Gravel Pit looked slushy, but was frozen solid.
- And Gifford House looked a long way away over all that snow.
