Want to start reading the blog from the very beginning?
Grew up in Ho-Ho-Kus, a suburban small town in North East New Jersey. Currently lives and works as a caretaker on a small island on Lake George in Upstate New York.
Thanks for help me with the opossum problem. I hope he will be fine.
In your blog, I miss the ramblings (just kidding), I miss your daily reports. I love the sky in that first picture, and the sky on fire in the 3rd one. In the 3rd picture I see people climbing a mountain.
Hey Lisa, No problem, good luck with your wildlife. I miss the daily ramblings too, and they are ramblings, but you will soon miss no more, I am planning on starting up the narrative again in about two weeks or so. Glad you like the photos, now that you mention it I see what you mean by people climbing the mountain, following along the ridgeline. Best Regards, Jeff
I love pictures that allowed your imagination to go wild.
I'm glad you will be back with the narrative.
I believe the opossum is fine. My roommate wakes sometimes around 2 or 3 A.M., so he will check the backyard for any signs of it. Let's hope that he is ok.
Hello Rita and Eric, I apologize for my delyaed response. Thanks for the compliments, glad you like the photo. Unfortuntately the blogspot blog format keeps the images so small, at such sizes the detail of the tree line is lost. Perhaps I will use this as one of the blog covers. Best Regards, Jeff
