Wonders and Oddities
Lots of things were awe inspiring and then there were those things that helped you get a picture of what sort of folks live there. Here are some highlights:
Lizzie took a picture of a pitcher plant and then peeked inside to find this.
Ian snapped this photo of one of the brains we saw in the Wilder Brain Collection at Cornell University. It was the brain of a psycho murderer that lived near Ithaca.
The woods at Cornell's bird sanctuary were beautiful.
We discovered a whole new world of fungi on our forest adventures. These ones were on a hike in the Adirondacks.

A duck family swimming across our private lake.
Sunset at Blue Mountain Lake in the Adirondacks.
The mighty Hudson River didn't look so mighty in upstate New York. Can you imagine this wide expanse filled with floating logs in the spring? Makes you happy for the job you have, huh?
Campsite canopy in New Hampshire's White Mountains.
No caption required.
We got up early to be among the first to see the sunrise in the United States (from Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park).
The rugged Maine coast in Acadia (those are my kids under the evergreen tree in the middle).
One of two porcupines that wandered past us in Acadia.
Lizzie collected these crab parts along with other shells she found at the beach near Acadia.
We added our own stones to the pile where Thoreau's cabin was at Walden Pond.
With the griffins, welcoming us to the design building at Harvard.
The "Sacred Cod" that hangs in the House of Representatives in the Massachusetts' State House.
Just in case you didn't know there were lots of homes nestled behind the vegetation.
Did you know that the top of a windmill rotates so that you can move the blades toward the wind?
Nauset Beach Light on Cape Cod.
Ian wouldn't stop talking about weeping angels, so we had to capture this one in the Yale Cemetery.
We met the original Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, and Piglet at the NYC Public Library.
This guy juggled rings and three juggling pins while balancing a ball on top of a stack of cans on top of a ball on his forehead. We seemed to be the only ones watching though.
Standing at the foot of the Statue of Liberty always inspires me.
Lee's only wish was to play chess in Washington Square.
The Flatiron Building
A view from the Brooklyn Bridge.
No one could tell us what this street sign in NYC meant. We took cover just in case large nested bowls with plants growing out of them happened to fall down from the sky onto our heads.

Forget a "No Soliciting" sign. Plant one of these babies by your front door.
