Summer has come and gone, and as usual it was spent doing lots of great stuff. I'm lucky to have two full months off, Gail took off the last three weeks of August that allowed us to take a trip to the mountains and lakes of NY, VT and NH.
Our first stop was in Piseco to see her brother, Geoff, and his family, Kristi and her parents, Chips and Ann, and our nephews, Harper and Dusty. We hadn't been able to do that in a few years. The boys are growing fast and it was wonderful to spend a few days with them. They are really into birding and it was amazing to see how much they've learned about the world around them.
Speaking of birds, the bald eagles have nested on the island of Piseco Lake again. The adults aren't around much this time of year but the juvenile hangs out and cries for food all day.
Gail had a nice sunrise swim around the island, I went along in one of the canoes.
I also got a chance for a solo hike up Pillsbury Mountain and another fire tower. It was near Snowy Mountain which Gail, Geoff and Kristu and I hiked together a few years back. That's Snowy in the distance, I had to mess with the color to make it more distinct.
