Bear with me while I look at a couple of cool pictures of my model airplane!
|
a close fly-by - I almost ducked!
|
another way to enjoy the great fall foliage this week!
|
|
trees on galloping field
|
Meghan and I took a long walk in the woods and with the ATV - here she is with some cherries in my grandfather's old orchard
|
more berries in the woods
|
|
more berries on the wild bushes
|
here Meghan is standing on the old hunt course where our tour of the new trails for next year will begin
|
This picture is taken from the edge of the hunt course field right where Meghan is standing in the previous picture and looking down hill towards the old junior barn. This "new trail" is actually an old trail we have not used for a few years
|
|
here's Meghan at about the farthest point down the trail you can see in the previous picture - we still need to trim some branches and pricker bushes
|
THis picture looks further down the trail from where Meghan was standing in the last picture. The old junior barn / isolation barn is on the far right in the background. about half way down the hill from here, a trail turns off to the left and connects with the regular horse trail near the back of galloping field
|
this is a circular "loop trail" that makes a circle around the field next to the old junior barn. Meghan is standing right where the long down hill trail crosses the loop
|
|
this is the other half of the loop next to the old barn - this will be a protected and safe place to do some cantering on trails next summer!
|
this is a view looking back up hill towards where we began this photo tour - it's a long run something like the one on powerline trails
|
here's a closeup of the old barn - it is still savable, but needs help soon
|
|
we took this inside the hayloft of the old barn - if it could talk, this loft would have a LOT of stories from the past 65 years or so!
|
Meghan climbing down from the hay loft
|
this back side of the old barn is sheltered from the weather by big trees - it is in surprisingly good condition compared to the other walls
|
|
there are about forty of these outdoor pipe stalls which we used to keep the horses in between lessons
|
Meghan and I moved on to the old trail system to enjoy the nice day after we finished our tour of the new trails
|

|
fallen leaves down on the loop trail near the big creek
|
the little waterfalls near the bench on the loop trail
|
|
the big Cazanovia creek near the viewing bench by the loop trails
|
Tom chooses two "skipping stones" to try in the creek
|
Tom skipping stones - he had some very good ones and a few duds that just went "sploooosh"
|
|
rapids in the big creek
|
the horses in pasture jsut noticing us as we walked up
|
they come to Meghan immediately since she feeds them every morning
