Taken on Saturday April 15, 2023 at Louise Kerr Wildlife Management Area.While I’m thinking about moving out of state, I really am not sure I want to before my parents pass away. Much like I’ve gotten once again to enjoy their Sunday dinners, despite my reservations about the health benefits, I realize that the time is short in their lives. To reject such things would be foolishness as time is so short. Likewise I want to spend as much time with them, learning whatever I can, helping them however I can before it’s over.
When I leave for my future home for good, I don’t plan on ever coming back – including for funerals. I want to look at Albany one last time and say that chapter of my life is over for good. The thing is if I move out of state, I’ll probably never see my parents again. And I enjoy every precious moment with them because I know it won’t be much longer. Things will be ordinary one day and then they will be gone. There will be a funeral and time will move on. That’s a good time after the funeral to think about leaving.
It's the message of the changing seasons and that spring is soon upon us.
The storm king highway has many sweeping curves and cuts into the mountain. It wouldn't comply with modern highway standards but is pretty remarkable to look at.

Yesterday, I downloaded the National Land Cover Data for 2016. I had some older data but I hadn't updated it in years, but soon realized I could make some very interesting maps and graphics with this data. The Finger Lakes are kind of interesting to look at in particular as you can see the Northern Finger Lakes have a lot of cultivated lands -- mostly corn and soybeans -- for feeding dairy cattle, while the more upland and rocky lands in the Southern Finger Lakes are either wooded or pasture.
