These photos were taken a day after a big snowstorm on the last day of Fall. The snow started falling on Saturday shortly after noon and lasted until early the following morning. The photos were taken on Sunday at the following locations (from top to bottom): 29th street, Bryant Park, the Cartier store on Fifth Avenue, and Central Park (Sheep Meadow and the Central Park Lake).
I love nature, trees, mountains and so, naturally, I also love lakes. These pictures were taken on the Sunday after Thanksgiving (November 29) in Maine. That particular day was spectacular and I had gotten up early to watch the morning sun slowly light up the trees on the property behind the Latkovich house. In the morning we took one of the dogs (Zorro) for a walk. In the afternoon, we took another dog (Sousa) for a walk in Range Ponds State Park.
Vlada and I had already been there last August on a hot summer day. We had then packed our bathing gear and driven to the State Park. The main beach had been packed but we had found a spot for our towels, coincidentally near a group of people speaking Bosnian and playing bocce. After swimming in the lake we had discovered a much more secluded beach (Frenchman’s beach) a short walk away from the main beach. That small beach was stunning, with beautiful sand and clear water and since it was further away from the parking lot and changing cabins is was much quieter there.
These photos were taken in Auburn, Maine during the Thanskgiving Weekend (November 26-29, 2009). Most photos on this page are of Auburn Lake, a water reservoir for the cities of Auburn and Lewiston. The last photo in the kitchen shows preparation for the Thanksgiving dinner, with Vlada in the role of the chef and my parents as helpers.
