My sister and brother-in-law
LOVE
The Adirondack Mountains.
Hiking up Mt. Marcy was their first date ♥ 
Climbing Mt. Allen {above} is in their future.
*
My brother-in-law climbs even when it's below zero.
* * * Brrrrrrrr * * *
These are photos he took on two recent treks,
..Mt. Redfield and Mt. Cliff...
Their goal is to climb all 46 Adirondack Mts.
God bless them!

Barry's commentary on his recent climb...
"Revenge is mine, and then some!A few weeks ago ice on Cliff got the best of me, but yesterday was a new day. The hike was 11 hours and 18 miles long. We wore crampons the entire time. Snowshoes carried but not needed.It was a zen hike for sure.Redfield measures 4606 feet and is the 15th highest peak in NY. Cliff measures 3960 feet and is 44th of the 46 highest peaks. For me that was number 37 and 38. Only 7 more to go to earn my 46er."
"...Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
Isaiah 40:31
Thank you for sharing your amazing photographs, Barry!

Yes Maria - God bless them. I admire their courage and vision. I am content to look at the beauty of those mountains.
ReplyDeleteSuch amazing pictures.
Oh I've always admired climbers/hikers as I'm not one of them ;-) Beautiful photos. I especially like the first one because glory is shining down on the earth.
ReplyDeleteWOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOOWOWOWO That is one brave HUMAN BEING with the eternal spirit of COURAGE! I am a land lubber, and I like living at sea level!!!! I am courageous in many ways, but NOT ON HIGH or DEEP PLACES!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHello sweet one! Oh good friend, SO NICE to see your comment tonight! YES, I teach science and social studies in French these days. I used to teach ALL subjects, including algebra in French, but with budget cuts, I teach English language arts and the above mentioned French subjects to 52 students. Now that I have to say, is brave, thank you GOD. I once saw a woman wearing a t-shirt that said:
I'M NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING.
I'M A TEACHER.
Touché.
Be brave.
Be bold.
Teach and love while you're at it!!!!
LOVE TO YOU! Anita
Wow, that is so beautiful...what a goal they have and it looks to me like they are both blessed to have found the right mate in life! ;D

Have a most wonderful weekend, my sweet and dear friend xxxxx
Maria dearest Thank you so much for the wonderful card you send me .
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe misterpostman and all his helpers did make this happen for you and me .
My heart is so happy for being your friend . Little Eva stand up in her bed today for the first time ... oh oh oh ....in a week she will be 9 months .
She really is one of the joys of my life ....
Elisabeth had the third chemo yesterday and it went well ( can I say that ) and now we are halfway still three to go .
Her life is completely changed .
Her relation is ended and HE already has someone else . HER heart is broken and she cried and told me Who will have me ...one breast ...no hair .....
I told her I completely understand how she feels but
she is so much more than the breast and the hair that are gone and she will be such a beautiful person again Even more !
Thank you dear Maria for your support

Hello, Maria, my friend,
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, such beauty in these pictures. Thank you for sharing them with us. Your brother-in-law and sister are brave folks to be out in such cold weather. I know they really love their sport of climbing. I prefer to stay indoors where it is warm and cozy. I hope you are having a good school year. Enjoy your weekend! Vicki
What beautiful photos, thanks for sharing with us. I hope you are keeping well, still reading your posts in my reader but apologies for not calling by to comment very often, time just seems to get swallowed up by real life!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Unfortunately, the only Adirondacks I can handle are chairs! Bless you, Maria.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are truly beautiful places! It must have been an amazing experience to be able to climb up the mountain and to take in all these wonders! Truly breath taking! Thanks for sharing your sister and brother-in-law's wonderful adventure, Maria!
