One of my favorite drives is up the Hudson River along route 9W in New Jersey and up through New York. Starting from the George Washington Bridge we stopped at Greenbrook (a little private nature sanctuary). Next we stopped at the State Line Lookout. Then we drove on up to Iona Island. After that we crossed the Bear Mountain Bridge and drove back down along Route 202 and 9 on the east side of the Hudson.
During the event I managed to photograph these. Everyone got to photograph two young racoons looking for edibles at the lake edge.
We went to a photography event at the Hallett Nature Sanctuary | Central Park sponsored by B & H camera. The open enrolment meant that there were too many people. The birds all fled. The ones I photographed we visible before the event.

We went to visit a friend in New Jersey in September. We had a lovely visit.
This was one of my favorite places on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Luckily we got there very early before the tourists arrived.
The Fairy Pools are located in Glen Brittle at the foot of the Black Cuillin mountains. They are formed along the Allt Coire a’ Mhadaidh (Burn of the Dog) and cascade into the River Brittle, creating a series of vivid aqua-blue pools and waterfalls.
The area was the site of the Battle of Coire na Creiche in 1601, one of the last and bloodiest clan battles on Skye.
The name “Fairy Pools” emerged in the 1930s, inspired by local legends, including tales of a Clan MacLeod chief marrying a fairy princess and the pools’ ethereal blue colors, which give the area a magical appearance.
