An 11 inch long Largemouth Black Bass, caught in 10 acre Lake Loree at the Sunny Hill Resort in New York's Catskill Mountains. Located in Greenville in Greene County, the resort opened in 1920, and has been my family's and my favorite vacation spot since 1946.

It's a wonder how interesting even the worst and shakiest shots sometimes come out! A doe Whitetail Deer (Odocolleus virginianus) grazing along the shore of 10-acre Lake Loree at the Sunny Hill Resort and Golf Course in Greenville, Greene County, New York. I just returned from a ten day trip there to fish, eat, relax, photograph, get fresh air and meet new friends. All pf my goals were accomplished! I hope everyone's summer has been safe and well.

This shot of an enormous five inch long Largemouth Bass demonstrates two things"
1 - I'm great at catching tiny fish, and
2 - I needed to get my fingernails trimmed.
Hope you like this little guy!

A Green Sunfish, Lepomis cyanellus, caught in a pond at the Sunny Hill Resort and Golf Course in Greenville, Greenville County, New York. This special place is in the majestic Catskill Mountains. Interestingly, although I have been fishing in New York State for most of my 70 years, I have never encountered or caught this beautiful non-native species before. It is originally from Asia.

The warm glow of a beeswax candle I bought on a recent trip to the Sunny Hill Resort in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. It was being sold at a craft festival they were holding there. The candle gives off a subtle buttery aroma.

Mute Swan by the Bay

A very beautiful Mute Swan, Cygnus olor, in the middle of preening itself on a small floating dock tied to one of the fishing piers in Brooklyn's Sheepshead Bay in New York City. There are two or three pairs of swans that call the bay their home.

Mute Swans mate for life, and are not actually mute, although they are not as vocal as other swan species. If disturbed or threatened, they can become quite aggressive and hiss, as many humans have learned. Their young, called "cygnets," are often grey. Mute Swans are in introduced and invasive species throughout much of the world.
