My biggest Christmas present this year was the arrival of my son to New York. My son, Jonathan, is a search and rescue medic in the United States Navy and for the past 8 months he has been stationed in Kuwait.

Well, I am finally getting around to posting my pictures taken at Randall Pond in December. We have had several snowfalls thus far this winter and I was lucky enough to capture Randall Pond during one of those snows in December.

Everyone who reads my posts knows how much I love Randall Pond with it beautiful water reflections, the great assortment of animals and insects, the beautiful folliage and the peace and serentity that I find there.
My walk through Randall Pond in October was even more breathtaking than usual. I went on a day that followed several days of rain. It was windy, cold and overcast. Truthfully, I set out only because I knew I needed pictures for the month of October - not from any real desire to be out on the nasty day. Read the rest of this entry »
