...create lots of photo opportunities. Today was a "play day" shared with my friend Diane. We left home early to allow us lots of time for exploring. Our destination was Cooperstown, New York and a visit to the Fenimore Art Museum, which is where James Fenimore Cooper, the novelist grew up. The collection is an outstanding one which includes paintings by Thomas Cole, Gilbert Stuart, Benjamin West, Eastman Johnson, Grandma Moses and many other American Artists. It is always a favorite "play day" adventure. Lunch on the shore of Otesego Lake at the Blue Mingo, was as usual, a gourmet delight. We both enjoyed a Salmon and Corn Chowder, followed by Lobster Salad Sandwich and dessert of Key Lime Custard.
After driving only a short distance, we noticed a family of Canada Geese on the banks of the West Canada Creek, which included a Male, a Female and nine Goslings. Then we stopped by a favorite water fall, on the Little Black River. The rain the day before, made the falls even more spectacular. Another family of fowl was spotted at the falls, a Female Ruffed Grouse and four chicks.
One adventure after another completed a magnificent "play day" of flora, fauna and fun.

Your photos are always so perfect...May I ask what type of camera you use?...I wish mine were better at zooming in on far away birds.
