A little color, please, in these final grey and dismal days of winter.
I took a 12 minute bus trip to Campbell, west of Corning, to visit my daughter and her family. First is a photo of the Conhocton River (which becomes the Chemung River in Corning) from a one-lane bridge.
Looks at the long coat that horse is wearing. The horses come right over to the fence to see me, but no closer since they know they’ll get a shock if they touch it.
On another excursion out of Corning, my brother drove us up the Hornby Road and we circled through the hills onto West Hill Road. Corning is in a valley and this area is on the north side.
A partridge was crossing the road, slowly. We stopped and watched. Took lots of pictures. Look closely at the left side. I also like how the picture turned out with the trees reflected in the car's side-view mirror.
Goodbye, partridge...
(Brother took both bird photos since the it was on his side of the car)
A picture-perfect house...
We cut back through Corning and then traveled up Sunset Road, on the south side, which parallels the Chemung River. It becomes Pace Road, then splits into Lower Pace Road and Upper Pace Road. We followed Lower Pace all the way to the NYSE&G Substation, then turned around and drove back the same way.
I’ve taken many pictures of this houseboat from down below, down by the river on the opposite side. Now I got to take a close up of the boat and pictures of the river and north Corning from up on this hill.
The bridge is featured in many of my photos.
Can you see the Little Joe Tower on the right hand side?
More of Corning’s north side along the river.
if u ever look in my pics of around town, I have a pic of one of the brown an white horses that has one brown eye and one blue eye. I stop in nice weather and have given them carotts. I don't know if I'm suppose to do it with out any one's permission, but they love it! Pam
ReplyDeletePam, I remember you saying something about the horse with two different color eyes. I'll have to look more carefully. I've never fed them. Usually 8-10 come to see me at once. That's a lot of carrots! And, there's that electric fence to consider.
DeleteWhat so lovely place, Kathleen. Has the winter started already? Thank you for sharing your trips with us. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Muhammad. Actually we are nearing the end of our winter and looking forward to spring. My tulips and crocuses are starting to come out of the ground. Noticed a lot more today with the warmer weather and the sunshine. Sunday and Monday are supposed to be even warmer, so I'm hoping the crocuses will bloom.
DeleteLove the picture of the horse - he really has his winter coat. The picture perfect house is just as you say. Looking forward to your Spring pictures.
ReplyDeleteHi Maria. The horses should be shedding their coats soon. Spring is definitely on its way!
DeleteThat is very very nice. And the snow always give some majesty to any place. Loved the pics!
ReplyDeleteCarine, thanks for stopping by and commenting. I love snow--"majesty", that's a good word for it.
DeleteLooks as though you had a good time Kathleen. Very nice images of the things and places you seen along the way.
ReplyDeleteCame by also to ask how you fared the snow storm this past week? Hope all is well with you and your family. :)
Sincerely,
Randall
Luckily, Randall, we've not had an overdose of snow or rain like New York City, Connecticut or any of the other coastal areas. We're pretty far inland and in a valley, so we're often protected from the worst of the weather.
DeleteRandall, I attempted to get on your blog site today and it's not there. If you receive this, I hope you'll let me know what's going on.
