My latest travels

Yesterday I took a ride up to NY. I found upon my travels a gorgeous park called Bear Mtn. I can go on and on about how beautiful it was, however I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Little comments may ensue.

Two trees dancing together in the sunlight.



Anyone know what this is???



Looks like a huge serpent on the trail! Ok, so I have an active imagination... still thought there was a serene beauty to it.



An amazing treasure of fall.



Little did I know when I got up close I'd be rewarded with an even bigger blessing!



Then my rewards grew even more! :)
When a Moth enters your presence they are delivering spiritual messages for you, from your ancestors, angels and spirit guardians. Our elders have told us when we see the white animals return to the earth is it time for all of humanity to come together in peace and harmony to support each other through the rapidly changing times. It is an honor for me to be able to share this message from our spirit world with you.




The friendly lady who stopped to chat with me in Perkins tower gives an awe inspiring perspective to this limited view of the mountains around us. Notice on the right all the buildings in the skyline? That's NYC.




Inside Perkins Tower there are tiles featuring native wildlife you may come across in the park.













Just one of the many tiles below huge pictures with interesting info on Bear Mtn.



Views from the Tower







Doesn't that tall bunch of trees to the left look like a buck and his family grazing in a line?




Other features for this park include a zoo, museum, a skating rink, an Inn, the "Merry-Go-Round", and Iona Island. NYC is only 45 mins away.
