4. Gorgeous colors

It looks like you spent a nice day taking in the sights of winter's end. If you're like me, you often have to upload your pictures to see just how much of a beautiful day it was.

Thanx for sharing.

On edit: I forgot to mention how great that Scooby look is. I'm guessing you made a farting sound to get that reaction. (LOL)

[ElsewheresDaughter]

13. nah no farting sounds needed...she loves that chair over looking the dining table waiting .....

for a Scooby snack lol

17. She sure mugs for the camera.

It's those ears that make her poses look like: "Huh" "Did you say we're going outside?" LOL
Nice pix.

Read the line up. This is a super group if there ever was one.

[regnaD kciN]

8. Wow...

Any group with members of both Silly Wizard and Altan in it is super indeed.

And Jay Ungar is cool -- a few years ago, I was part of a group of musicians that met for regular Irish sessions at a local restaurant/bar. Even though it isn't actually Celtic, most of our sessions included "Ashokan Farewell." The owner of the place got worried about our including a copyrighted piece among all the traditional tunes, as it might open him up to legal problems. We checked with Ungar, and it turned out, several years ago, that he had given blanket permission for groups like ours to perform it for free, as long as we weren't charging admission to hear it.

9. Is this near NYC?

It looks like a place I'd like to visit if it's not too far from the city. The ravines are gorgeous.

Stella is really cute.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

11. it's about 1 1/2 hrs north of NYC, exit 19 on the Thruway and 9 miles from Woodstock......

their are several other ravines and watering holes everywhere in this neck of the woods ;)

If ever you find yourself in these necks....PM me for my number and I would love to met up and show you the sites. the Little Bear Cafe has wonderful fare ...lunch on me.

[Mz Pip]

16. Thanks!

I try to get to NYC twice a year to visit my son. It would be fun to get up there and see some different sites! It must be spectacular in the fall which will probably be when I get back there again. I'll definitely KIT.
