A Very Warm Day and a Road Trip
Yesterday the weather was unusually warm and pleasant for February, so my wife and I decided to go on a road trip and look at Cohoes Falls, which we had never been to. We went down Rt. 67 to Valley Falls, down the back roads to Melrose, down Oil Mill Hill and across to Waterford and down to Cohoes. We had a bit of trouble finding the falls, and eventually had to ask directions!
The Park was closed, but we met a couple of women who also wanted to see the falls and they said there was a lookout back the way we had come, so we followed them and got a nice view of the falls. The water was really high. Unfortunately, sumacs had been allowed to grow all along the lookout, so getting a decent photo was very hard. The one below was taken with my wide angle lens.
We came back up the river and crossed into Clifton Park. As our daughter and son-in-law were only 5 miles away, we stopped in and had a pleasant visit. Saw our grand-daughter and great-grand-daughter also. Eventually we got home but went out again to visit another daughter and son-in-law in the evening.
It was a very nice day and it was good to get out and visit. Today it has gotten cold and is snowing again! Below is a panorama I put together from two photos taken with the stock lens, but I had to stitch it by hand and it isn't too good.
