Sun On The Rocks
Drenched in sunshine, I got many great pictures - I'll have more for you, plus a video clip, later in the week.....
We journeyed northwards, along the Palisades cliffs, first on a flat path and then over the formidable Giant Stairs..
Here I am with my friend Steve. By 1pm, I'd slipped and fallen several times, but wore a smile in the abundant sun notwithstanding my scrapes, scratches, and bruises...
The Palisades Cliffs run for several miles just south of the NJ-NY border along the river....
Here we begin our ascent up the tricky, jagged, sometimes slippery Giant Stairs. This is one hike that gets canceled by even a hint of rain. (Or called off in mid-hike, as happened to me there last year) Happily, the weather was pitch-perfect....
Those lovely purple flowers on the branch are Columbine, I believe.
The lovely green path, fresh air... very restorative after a few nights of not enough sleep.. You could hear the Hudson lapping against the shore....
Glimpses of the mighty river through the trees....
