We spent the Thanksgiving weekend with family in Saratoga Springs. While exploring the State Park, I came across these oak leaved as they were slowly being coated and encased by mineral deposits flowing out of one of the springs.

Robin & I enjoyed a fine day of skiing up at Craftsbury Outdoor Center yesterday. The ample sunshine and soft spring conditions made for wonderful skiing. I’m always stuck, when traveling through the Northeast Kingdom, how different the landscape is from our neck of the woods here in Huntington.
