View on the way up Bear Mountain, NY. We did a group hike yesterday for my 9-year-old daughter's birthday. Very proud of her, and even younger kids, who did the 2-hour hike up, and then back down again!
The foliage isn't in full color yet. It's a great hike if you're looking for something to do this fall.

Definitely not the clearest pic, but this is my niece's daughter Avery with her first fish. Lake Santeetlah NC.

Great pics Tom.
Is that Bald Eagle's left foot metal banded?....or is that just the normal transition from feathers to leathery talons? Love all the pics, but tough to beat those majestic Eagle pics. Well done!
Can you remind me what camera and lense(s) you use?

Spent a few days in Colorado for the first time and visited Denver, Keystone and Buena Vista. What a beautiful state. There are endless epic views. And, everyone is active out there ... running, biking, fishing, etc. I hope to go back one day and enjoy some fishing/skiing. Not enough time on this trip. But, I did get in an epic whitewater rafting adventure with the wife and kids, who did great.

This is Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant, SC outside Charleston. If you look all the back in the pic you will see all of the Shrimp Boats. Great place to hang out and have some fun. Dolphins are seen daily in the creek.

More rocks, mtns. and streams. The weather kept changing and there was a haze from the California fires. Still a beautiful state and no humidity .Stayed with a friend near Colorado Springs then went northwest on a road trip then back to Denver.

Wednesday sunset on Niantic Bay. Picture taken with an iPhone 6 at the Hole In The Wall. You can barely make out an old-style schooner in the middle of the picture that dropped its hook and stayed the night. Was gone the next day.
I went to Indianapolis for a few days this summer. The cleanest city ever ! No graffiti, homeless, garbage, etc. I rented a kayak and went on the canal system that goes thru the city. Pretty cool.

We are spoiled with lotsssss of great beachside sunrises, sunsets, and cool water, wildlife and weather (many great and some awful) views all of the time. Many take them for granted, but I’ve been on that beach since birth and never get tired of them. It’s AMAZING how many people have NEVER SEEN A SUNRISE IN THEIR LIFE!!!!!….EVER!!!!…..damn sleeping bastards don’t know what they’re missing…..unbelievable!

Beautiful night, but my crew cancelled on me for another Wed night Striper Topwater plugN trip.
Took my daughter out for dinner at Fresh Salt at Saybrook Point Inn for great dinner (Tuna Poke Bowl, Seafood Cioppino) and drinks (Green Tea Mojotos).
A HUGE 70’++ Sportfisher pulled in to the gas dock while we were having dinner that had a drug helm one the 4th level. What a luxurious way to catch searobins in style!

Thanks Don. I spend time in the Co. Springs area as often as I can. We left there for a road trip to S.D. and there is a lot to see, Sturgis, Deadwood. Had dinner in Casper Wy. with cheap drinks, scotch and water $4.50, Cosmo $5.00. unreal.

August trip to Co. Springs. They finished the new summit house Bldg. and opened in May. I went to check it out and it is much bigger than the picture. It spreads out on both sides beneath what you see. The complex outside is still under construction making a walk around the summit. I waited till a front moved through to clear the air a bit because of the fires out west. Still wasn't too clear. In spots the wind was incredible.

I haven't been out fishing since March with selling our house and buying another and now doing renovations. Had to take some time with the family, so we took a few days to run up to Northern New Hampshire and Vermont for a little leaf peeping. took a few pics.
Is that a PowerPole type of device on the transom of your kayak?….just a light/flag mast?…..or something else?
It is a manual anchor pole, 8' long made by Bernie's River Stick.
About 2 years ago I left my pole somewhere, called him up and ordered a new one. The poor guy just moved from PA to FL, went fishing and caught flesh eating bacteria, almost died and lost his leg.

Yes, that feature of being able to adjust the seconds of exposure makes a nice effect. Great seeing daylight like views during pitch black night, but having the stars lit up, lights on houses, navigation lights show up, lights on Long Island, etc….

You get lotssss of great views, and sunsets from your property Chris. That’s a huge perk of being a homeowner there, and especially for a couple that appreciates natural beauty, and the outdoors.
I can never see or take pics if enough sunrises and sunsets. They’re just a primal, tribal, earthy/galactical connection, attraction and appreciation for me. I share a lot of them on CTF, but for every one I share I prob have 30+ I don’t.
It amazes me that there are many people out there who sleep in enough that they have NEVER seen and experienced a sunrise!!!
I really enjoy watching the woods, lake, ocean and all of their inhabitants waking up and changing watching a sunrise progress from darkness while hunting, icefishing and fishing inshore-offshore.

Here’s a sunset/post-sunset (4:49PM) pic from the dead end of my Clinton street as it overlooks the mouth of Clinton Harbor from this past Sunday with my 5 day old Jeep. Super Low Tide this evening and calm.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in late January. Fished all day with six lines in on this trip, but just one needlefish caught. Saw lots of whales and other cool sights, though.
