Continuing my little travelogue of my short trip earlier this past week, above is a sepia-toned (somehow it seemed appropriate) of a gazebo on the grounds of the Fenimore Cooper Art Museum, located on the path leading down to Lake Otsego.
Above you can see one corner of the garden behind the Museum, with some nicely pruned bushes and other botanical delights.
Next is a shot of the lawn spreading out behind the Museum and down to Lake Otsego.
These next couple of pictures are of the Hudson River, taken at a riverside park just south of Saratoga (from day two of the trip).
It's easy to forget that New York is a largely rural state, punctuated on either end by a couple of large metropolitan areas. Is it any wonder that it served as an inspiration to a whole school of painters (The Hudson River School), or writers like Cooper and Washington Irving?

Dr John,
Just wanted to pass along that even though I don't comment on all your travel pieces- and your lovely photo taking, I really enjoy what you have to show and say. Thanks for keeping us up to date with your life =)
