Wordless Wednesday - The moon on a dark night

Moon on a dark night

The moon as seen through tree branches

Wordless Wednesday is a reminder to me to post a photo but I find it impossible to be completeley wordless so forgive me.

I have always found the sky moon amd stars fascinating, I remember as a child I would spend hours star gazing and daydreaming and I even loved the nights when it was pitch black except for the moon.

So it was not a surprie that I would want to capture this scene.

Sylvan Lake - Dutchess County NY

Swans on Sylvan Lake

This was inspired by my recent open house visit on Sylvan Lake. Sylvan Lake is located in the town of Beekman in Southern Dutchess County NY. The lake was once home to a mining quarry so parts of the lake are very deep. It is a great place to go swimming, scuba diving, and fishing.

The day of my visit was a bit overcast, however, I was entertained by the birds, beautiful swans and a flock of smaller birds.

Dock on Sylvan Lake

Along Sylvan Lake can also be found a very popular camp site, a great location because of the many attractions within a few miles.

Birds on Sylvan Lake

You will also find a housing complex known as Chelsea Cove. Residents of this complex have direct access to the lake. I just checked the mutliple listing service and there are properties available ranging from $139,000-250,000.

Wordless Wednesday - View from an open house

Swans on Lake

Today was my day for attending Brokers open house in Southern Dutchess County NY. I saw a total of 4 homes; a cape, a brick split level, a townhouse and a beautiful log house overlooking a lake. The last house I viewed was the log house and this is just one of the view you would see.
