While I was recently in Fulton County, NY I got a bit homesick.
You see, I grew up in New York a few hours down the 90 West-bound from Fulton County. I was greeted with familiar sights, smells and tastes of my childhood.
While I was there, a dusting of snow fell one day. Something I had not expect in mid-November living in the heart of Dixe for the past two decades.
As the heavy wet snow quickly melted away, the falling snow turned back to rain and a light fog lifted from the many lakes in the area. I was north of Gloversville, near Peck's Lake, when I saw this scene. I hopped out of my car and took a deep breath and the aroma of the lake and the fir trees filled my lungs reminding me once again - I was in New York.
After getting a few shots I headed back to the car the rain was now snow again. My thoughts drifted back to my youth again, and then of my 6-year-old daughter. I stuck out my tongue and caught a snowflake - Snow tastes better in New York. - Jeffrey S. Otto
