West Point In the Fall

We have been too busy this past year to even think of blogging.  Joan had both knees replaced Oct. 5 2012 and then Hurricane Sandy hit our area on October 28.  We were displaced until the end of May and returned to our home and are continuing to live in our upstairs while the repairs to our home are completed.  We lost our computers in the hurricane and are sharing a little laptop.  Needless to say with all that we have had to do, we have not been blogging.  (Maybe we should, as the recovery from surgery and the hurricane has been quite a trip.)


Today we took a different trip.  One that we do annually just for the sheer joy of fall.  We headed out early this morning to West Point and Bear Mountain to see what we could see.  It was probably not the best day to do a trip to a federal government installation since the government is shutdown but we went none the less. Most facilities were open. The visitor's center and public restrooms were not available but we had an enjoyable day. The sun was bright, the sky was blue and it was just one of those days that fills the soul with buoyancy. 


Today I am sharing some views that we experienced.  I will use them for wall paper and screen savers and
authorize you to do the same if you see something you like. Nothing is more breathtaking than trees in fall.
