    Spring In The Backyard

    We’ve been waiting a while, so it was worth the couple minutes in the garden. Tulips, Japanese Painted ferns, hostas, and even the dreaded dandelion make appearances.

    My irises popped up this week, so heading into a very busy few days I stopped to shoot the flowers.

    These are a week earlier than 2010, and three weeks earlier than 2009. They’re still my favorite flowering tree.

    Cascade Mountain, Our First of 46

    Cascade Mountain is, along with Mount Marcy, the most popular summit in the Adirondacks. It benefits from a relatively short 3-mile hike which starts from well-traveled Route 73 and spectacular 360 degree panoramic views.
