Eagles In The Adirondacks

I was inspired to do this painting when I canoed down Evergreen lake in the Adirondacks, I was startled by an American Bald Eagle as he lifted off a treetop and flew along the treetops and then off into the clouds. What a magnificent site that I will never forget! Acrylic Painting 16 X 20"

Working With Winter -Not Against It.

Skiing near Val Bialas, Utica, NY
After an exhilirating early evening XC ski 1/2 mile uphill climb, you're rewarded with a magnificent sweeping view of the city lights below. Add a backdrop of the sun setting over your shoulder against a remarkable contrasty pallette of inky and cerulean blues, and salmon and sherbert orange colours. No matter when, or how many times I venture up, the view always takes my breath away.

Exciting Opportunity For the Mohawk Valley...

I try to stay out of politics and the economy on this site...but I was quite excited by my recent visit with my son to the SUNY Albany/Sematech Nanotech Research Facility.

The Adirondacks, One Of New Yorks Best Kept Secrets

One of our areas best assets is our proximity to the Adirondack Mountains...it is truly one of the most beautiful places in the US if not the world...

A Beautiful Mohawk Valley View

I've enjoyed the view here for many years in every season, and I thought I would share these 2 photos with you of the view from Val Bialas in Utica, NY., because they are photos that encompass much of the character and heritage of the Mohawk Valley. You can see much more this time of the year because the foliage blocks much of the view in the summer months until the foliage drops. The churches, the brewery, schools, psych ctr, farms and homes that can be seen from these 2 photos, are an incredible snapshot of our area.

How many landmarks can you identify?

Whitesboro Middle School Haunted?

Took these photos recently as I have been interested in learning more about some of the more unusual attractions in the Mohawk Valley with the Whitesboro Middle School being one. One story goes that Whitesboro Middle School-
Clock tower is haunted by a decapitated football player. Who can be seen wearing his jersey while holding his head. Anyone has a different version...let me know?

Utica Autumn Beauty

The scenery is certainly one of the finer points of living in the "Valley" heres ome photos I took a few months ago...hope you enjoy!

Almost Winter...

Well it's almost winter here, and the birds are hungrily attacking the feeders and the grasses and milkweed trying to send off their seedlings to survive and find a place to survive the hard frosts and snow, until spring warms the grounds again...
