Above is Seamus and Fergus at the trail head for hiking to Rock Pond. We didn't hike the trail, but I twice stopped there to let the dogs out, once heading north and once heading south. The woods is filled with Balsam and the air is filled with Balsam aroma, quite wonderful indeed.
Wren, as usual, is lagging behind. Trotting along a mountain trail is a lot of work for her so she waits to be sure we're REALLY going farther and not returning soon. In this case, I called her to get her farther into the woods.
Wally and Winky in the woods along the trail to Rock Pond. My two little Chinese dogs whose common denominator is joyful enthusiasm. It looks as if Wally was pooping when I snapped this picture, doesn't it?
A lovely pond along the highway. There's been a lot written about Purple Loosestrife pushing out our native Cattails, but they seem to be thriving in the Adirondacks.
Another pond, this one somewhat larger. There were so many ponds, bogs, marshes, rivers and streams that I wonder if they are all named.
A row of telephone poles crosses the end of this pond and, in fact, a causeway leads to a small settlement on the other side of the water.
A river leading off into the wilderness.
And more water.
Flowers on the bank of a shallow pond. Look closely at those two stumps in the water.
Indeed, those stumps made for a great sunning spot for a Painted Turtle. It was also another opportunity for me to try the zoom on my new camera.
Mountains in the distance, seen across a lake.
