This week, I’m sharing my favorite photo highlights from Thanksgiving weekend. Today, I hope you’ll enjoy some of the gorgeous views my husband and I saw on a brisk hike through a mountainous trail in New York that led us to an abandoned and caved in lead mine.
The sun peeks through the stickery trees and weeds before descending over the mountain horizon.
One lone wintergreen berry glimmered in the waning sunlight, but it was the flame-licking orange leaves–the only remaining ones after the heavy snowfalls of October–that danced in the breezes of the mountains. The lowering sun’s rays embrace the dancing leaves in an autumnal kiss.
Found near the mouth of the abandoned lead mine were blazes for the Long Path Trail.
My favorite view from our hike. In the lower left quadrant, you can see a small bit of the Hudson River shimmering through the evergreens at sunset.
We were on the edge of the Catskills in Sept. when we went to the wool and fiber festival in Rhinebeck NY. It was a beautiful place! I loved being able to see those mountains in the distance. They were certainly majestic and you truly could understand where the verse about Purple Mountain Majesty came from!
