Rift Hill looks a lot different in morning light in April then it does in May or June, much less September or early October.

Your supposed to pull out before you get to these in your kayak. Right above this part of the Sacanadaga River looks like splendid paddling.

Kind of brown this time of year, but also water levels are high enough now that one doesn't have to worry about getting a boat stuck here.

Still a lot of grays left in the landscape, but with spring coming closer I am sure things will rapidly green up.

Some places have trolls that hang out under bridges. Apparently, in Speculator this mink does.
