Snapshots of the Adirondacks

We spent the July 4th holiday at the cabin and enjoyed sitting out on the deck. The weather was perfect even if it was a little hot but I finally finished reading Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly. Here are a few of the places we visited . . . 


I saw this lovely Purple Flowering Raspberry on my way to the Community Garden . . .


. . . where there is lots of creativity to be found including Buddha's garden. 

 
There are hand-painted plant stakes . . . 


. . .  and painted rocks that make me smile :)
 

My daughter and I hiked the trails at Heaven Hill Farm in Lake Placid which is where she now works :)


The main building was once the home of Henry and Mildred Uihlein of the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company. It is now a conference center with beautiful gardens and adjacent community hiking trails.  


Love this view! 


My husband and I spent some time at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake NY and went on the Wild Walk for an amazing birds-eye view of the Adirondacks.  


We were definitely in the tree tops!


Back at the cabin this sunset was the end to a perfect day :)

I have lots of photos posted to my Love the Adirondacks! board on Pinterest. Many of them you've already seen but I like having them all in one place.

Have a great week!

  1. What beautiful photos. The Adirondacks is an area that I've always wanted to explore. Like on the deck of a lovely resort admiring a beautiful view in an Adirondack chair, of course.

  2. Beautiful photos. I love to see community gardens. I am thinking about joining one next year since my yard is not garden friendly. Those tree top photos are wonderful!
    Sounds like you had a nice retreat
