Sam’s Point 1 of 2

Sherry Felix9 Comments

I went on a trip to Sam’s Point area in Minnewaska State Park, Cragsmoor, New York in the Shawangunk Mountains with a small group of Sierra Photo NYC members on October 10, 2019.

The weather was delightful and I enjoyed the trip very much. The Ice Caves are spectacular, but the trail is full of stairs and ladders up and downs and requires a lot of exertion.

The light entering into the crevices of the sedimentary conglomerate rocks makes some dramatic photographs.

Cape May Doors

It’s been a while since I posted some doors. As many of you know We went to Cape May last month. I love their Victorian houses. In addition to the historic tour by horse and buggy we had a tour of the Physick Estate. I didn’t include the pictures of the fabulous interior. I may do so on my next post.

We had a week away! The first in many years. Possible because I feel energized and much recovered from years of chronic Lyme. Thanks to the Morrison Center in NYC. This trip was so restorative.

We stayed at an AirBnB (not the best) in Egg Harbor, NJ. Here are photos from the first day when we went to Forsythe:

There are so many things to do on Governors Island. We rented a surrey and peddled around. I photographed the Commanding Officer’s Quarters and the Fort Jay Theater. We stopped for a picnic. Then climbed the Hills. We ended the day by relaxing in seclusion on the hammocks.
