Springtime in the Catskills

Last weekend several friends from the South Jersey and Cranberry Digital Camera Clubs met in the Catskills for a fun Spring photo weekend. The weekend was arranged by my friends who own and operate the Glen Falls House and Resort in Round Top. We had a great time there last February for the Winter photo weekend and an even better time this trip. The foliage was about two weeks behind ours here in South Jersey and the greens were brilliant! If there was a theme it would have to be waterfalls and Spring is the best time to shoot them. On Saturday, well-known Catskill photographer, Francis X. Driscoll led us to two out-of-the-way falls. The afternoon was a bit misty but we felt that added interest as well as making the colors super saturated. Below you’ll see some favorites from the weekend in the order of discovery.

Local Scenes

I’ve gone from big city scenes last week to some country scenes this week. Spring can be a beautiful time no matter where you are (when it’s not raining). I have been wanting to document this field on Rt. 541 in Medford for some time and finally made it out there just before sunset a week or so ago.
