Kingston, NY

The fall leaves bring tourists to the Mid Hudson Valley region. There are many ways to engage in leaf peeping, however, in this post we will be considering leaf peeping by boat.

Hudson River Cruises located at the Rondout in Ulster County operates the Rip Van Winkle. which offers 2 hour tours on the Hudson River.

The next logical question would be: When does leaf peeping begin in the Mid Hudson Valley? Leaf peeping will be at its best in Mid October and the Rip Van Winkle will start the 2 hour Leaf Peeping tour on October 11th.

This tour is available from Tuesday through Sunday with the cruise starting at 2:30 PM

How much does it cost?

Adults $21

Children 4-11 $13

Over 65 $19

Under 4 Free

There is a $2.00 coupon available on the website

Contact 800-843-7472 or hudsonrivercruises@hvc.rr.com

I have taken the 2 hour cruise and it was well worth it.

I can't sell you the Hudson River, only views. I would be delighted to help you find a Hudson Valley home.

Take a ride on the rail

For sometime now I have wanted to get a shot of these abandon rail cars, I even got close once but the battery in my camera was dead.

So I was delighted when my husband came home with this shot recently. Location just outside Kingston NY

Readers of my blog know how much I love the Hudson River and the bridges over the river. This bridge is the Kingston Rhinecliff Bridge which connects Dutchess and Ulster Counties.

Early this afternoon I heard about a plane crash which occurred to the left of this bridge. When you hear the news you are always sad, but it is worst when you actually know the person in the crash, today was such a day.

Today I was taking a listing and the cat of the house checked me out fully, even going so far as looking in my bag.

When we got to the point where documents were being signed he jumped up on a folder and looked me square in the eyes as if to say "Now where do I sign? I am a member of this family.

I'll bet this headline grabbed your attention. What could be so priceless at Walmart? How about the view?  I took this shot a couple of years ago from the Walmart parking lot in Kingston, NY.

This a a photo I personally like. It reminded me so much of a lovely landscape watercolor.  I could see Thomas Cole of the Hudson River School of painting sitting down and painting a watercolor of the snow-clad Catskill Mountains.

So, next time you are at Walmart you might just see something priceless.
