Hudson Valley Musing

Wordless Wednesday|All alone

Wordless Wednesday|All Alone

I saw this silo on my way back from a closing yesterday, and it got my attention because it was all alone in a field. I suspect at one time it was once surrounded by other buildings, and grains and feed was stored there.

Now it stands all alone in this field with just weeds, and invasive vines around.

Hopefully in business you are not standing alone but rather surrounding yourself with a network. I suspect for members of ActiveRain standing alone is not an option.

What can 25 cents buy you today? | Wordless Wednesday

Times have changed.  Can you believe how far you could stretch 25 cents years ago?  Now you probably can't buy a stick of gum for that sum.

The photo references the Rhinebeck Hotel which was later renamed to the Beekman Arms, the oldest continously operated Inn in the country.

Looks like back when the hotel was called the Rhinebeck Hotel your horse could have a good meal or a real comfortable place to spend the night for only 25 cents.

So seriously, what can you buy with 25 cents these days?

Wordless Wednesday|Bridge over the Hudson River

Over a year ago I was on the Amtrak heading for New York City.  This ride is scenic as the train track runs along the Hudson River.   I always try to get as many pictures as I can, especially of the bridges.

Here is a shot of a bridge over the Hudson River I took on that trip.

Wordless Wednesday Red Leaves

One reason I love the Hudson Valley is because of the variety of trees.  Come fall you can truly enjoy the vibrant colors.  It is not all fun and games, once these leaves fall then you have to get busy raking.  I personally spend hours raking and throwing the leaves in a compost heap to use on my garden come springtime.   I make the best of this chore by examining the leaves; and this morning while raking,  I came across these red leaves.

There is much to admire in nature even in fallen leaves, and these red leaves sure makes my point.

For sometime now I have wanted to get a shot of these abandon rail cars, I even got close once but the battery in my camera was dead.

So I was delighted when my husband came home with this shot recently. Location just outside Kingston NY

Wordless Wednesday-Turtle out for a morning stroll

 

 

Turtle

 I read Myrl's post yesterday about the two types of Wordless Wednesday posting.   As you already know. mine are rarely ever wordless.

This morning I needed to put up a for sale sign and I thought I would get an early start since the heat and I mutually hate each other.

On my way back I ran across this turtle who was out for an early morning stroll.  I could not resist taking a photo.  There must be lots of turtles on the move since I saw another one crossing the road yesterday in a different part of the County.

My last post was encouraging each and everyone to take time to enjoy the small things in life.  As  real estate agents up and about we sure get many moments like this.

Wordless Wedesday-Another old house in the Hudson Valley

Wednesday is the usual Broker's Open House Day and today I saw some really lovely homes.  One of the house was located in such a manner that the views  of the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains were just magnificent.View

I took a break between open houses to get some plants for my vegetable garden and on the way, here is a lovely old house  in the Hudson Valley that I saw.  On the side of the house was inscribed 1766 and it sure looks like it was built around that time period.

Wordless Wednesday-I could daydream all day

Scene at Olana

When friends come to visit it gives a good excuse for taking time to enjoy the view.  Life can get busy and we sometimes don't get the time to truly appreciate the area in which we live.  Taking the time to do so keeps me excited about the area and helps me to convey the many highlights of the Hudson Valley to those who may be thinking of relocating.  This view from Olana never gets old, and is a great spot to bring guests that come to visit.

Wordless Wednesday - Reflections

There are times when you decide to take a photograph and you end up getting more than you expected.  Take this photo as an example, I took the shot but what thrilled me most about it was the reflections in the water, something I had not noticed.

Wordless Wednesday-Where is my next meal?

Wordless Wednesday-Where is my next meal?

Pigeons are very common birds, and if you ever spend any time in New York City you would have noticed them.  This fellow in the photo I came across while taking a walk at Playland in Rye NY.  It looks like he had no idea where his next meal would come from.  You could say he is looking in all the wrong places.

On a side note even Google is fascinated by pigeons do you know what the PigeonRank is?
