All the photos were beautiful Maria, but the last three were magnificent!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is gorgeous country! God really outdid Himself on that one!
ReplyDeleteHi Marie...I just commented on your tablscape post...noticed your doing Purpose Driven life...with your sister!!! You'll love it!

i've never seen the Adirondacks. the one of the woods is awesome. thank you for sharing your photography talent!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing adventure - and pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love the one of the tall, tall trees. Such beauty.
What? You didn't go along? Are you kidding? What an awesome place to snowshoe. I wonder if you could ski tour there? I see they mark a "ski" trail. Maria - you would really love snowshoeing. It's great exercise, plus all you must know how to do is put them on and walk. These photos are breathtaking! Is this area close by where you live? Wonderful post, Maria!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and amazing captures!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful family time.
Happy weekend.

Beautiful captures, love the images of the mountains.
ReplyDeleteMagical. Beautiful. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHey Maria! How is your first week back at school going?
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are just incredible. Did one of your boys take them?
Yes, by all means, next time go with them. And give me a little ring before you go, I just might hop a freight and come join you!

Hi Everyone! Thanks for visiting!

Gotta get our own snowshoes!!!
Then, Barry & my sister can join us!

Breath-taking scenery, Maria! That last shot with the moon is awesome. Thank you for sharing the beauty of the Adirondacks. I always think of the Olympics when I hear of Lake Placid. I hope you have a terrific weekend! Love to you! Vicki
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!
ReplyDeleteThe past few days I've been reminiscing about a snowshoeing adventure I took a few years back in New England. This post took me right back there!
What beautiful photos. The snow is amazing. Just wish we had some around here. I would love to hike that area in the Summer as well. Hope you are having a great weekend...sending you much love for the new week.
ReplyDeletesweet maria! what amazing photos!! what fun. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous photos! What a beautiful place. It really proves how beautiful winter can be!
ReplyDeleteLove Di
Maria! These are such awesome images you shared. If I would do any sport in the snow it would definitely be snowshoeing. I left the skis behind years ago :0)
ReplyDeleteWow, Maria! I have never been to the Adirondacks...beautiful! Amazing photos! There is a wonderful quietness in the solitude of a place like that. Stay warm!...Debbie
ReplyDeletePS I use Photoscape downloaded free...very user friendly! For that effect, I edited with Filter set on Region(out of focus) in black. It's a great tool!
Breathtaking! God's country.
ReplyDeleteNice photo essay. You absolutely should join them next trek. It's a high energy activity if you're covering some miles, so you'll stay warm!
ReplyDeleteWhile living in Troy, made friends with a guy who lived north of Saratoga. Still miss those Adirondack hills. We did a lot of snowshoeing, camping, and hunting together in that region--great country. I remember shifting from traditional ash-frame snowshoes to Sherpas (early aluminum frame w/ neoprene deck)--that was like going from horse & buggy to Toyota, though I still miss the craftsmanship. Except for elk hunting, hardly ever snowshoe anymore--the snow is so good here I really got hooked on skiing.
