July 4th at Farandaville

The afternoon started with a kind of flag-raising.

Back the Blue –

Then I did a quick (3.6 mile) solo hike/walk in the Hudson Gateway reserve. Quite hilly. No one else was there – didn’t see a single person.

Here’s the pond near one of the entrances – gross looking but the frogs must have loved it – they were croaking away.

Then Brigid and I had walk at Croton Landing towards the evening – here’s nature lover herself

Brigid gave me the hat a couple of years ago.

So the tide was way in and we spotted this guy fishing. Croton people will know where this is in the Landing.

He must have gotten out there in that little rubber boat – and he seems to be wearing a mask!?

Life in Croton – pretty great!
