Exploring Arkansas April 2016

After being a general store, post office and a hotel… a 1901 building in Osage is now a pottery shop where folks can watch the owners at work, creating quality clayworks. At the National Park Aquarium in Hot Springs you can get up close with piranha and a 400-volt catfish - just to name a couple of the oddities there. Pysanky is an ancient Ukrainian egg art form that uses beeswax and dyes. A Hot Springs woman is a master at it and has earned the title - an Arkansas Living Treasure. Palarm Creek Waterfowl Rest Area within the Bell Slough Wildlife Management Area near Mayflower is a haven for birdwatchers during the winter months.

Hike in Robert H Treman State Park, NY on 06-09-2013 with my Wife's Grandson

My wife's grandson, AJ and I hiked in the Robert H Treman State Park gorge on 6/9/13. We hiked down past Lucifer Falls, which cascades down over 115 ft. This gorge is stunning and one of my favorite places on Earth. I've hiked this gorge many times over the years, and have swam in the pools at the base of many of the falls. I was first introduced to this part as a child in 1964 with my parents on a trip to upstate NY, when we lived in NJ. Today I got to introduce a new generation to the park and he was in awe. He can't wait to go back again.
