Easter Sunday In Beacon

The warm, sunny weather continued today so we got out to Long Dock Park.


Some anglers hope for striped bass off the pier at the Southern Dutchess Country Club.

The pier at Long Dock Park. Nearly high tide or just past.



Looking from Long Dock back toward Mt. Beacon. Directly below the two white puffy clouds is Dia: Beacon.

A newly created path (new as of last year).

Amphibian in a hole. I can't tell a toad from a frog, you tell me which it is.


Driftwood along the shore. You can volunteer to help clean up the shore and some artists will take your found objects and assemble them into art for you on April 22nd. Seems kinda lame to me; I'd rather do it myself.


Most of the time when you see trash on the beach it's a tampon applicator, a wrapper, a tire, old fishing lines and lures, or beer cans. Today I found something of personal interest. This is the ring that gets inserted into a magnetic data tape reel so that you can write to it. It's a lot like the tape you have to put over the holes in the right or left top end of a cassette tape. I found of personal interest because I work in the data processing industry, and I have since reel-to-reel magnetic tapes were last used in the early 1990s. There may still be some people that use them, who knows.


A small amphitheater.


Berm and weeping willow.

If you have $2.9M, you can have this diamond on the hill overlooking the Hudson.


DUCKS are ALWAYS cool.

The historic "red" barn, then...
...and now.
