OCTOBER WALK TO STREAMSIDE OF NORMANSKILL

deep shaded bank
seeing blue water
the MIGHTY stream
great spot for a board meeting
A poem by Matsuo Basho
All night long
I listened to the autumn wind
Howling on the hill
At the back of the temple
On a beautiful fall day my wife and I took a short walk along the Mohawk-Hudson Land Trust Land Normanskill trail that starts near the Delaware Ave bridge in Bethlehem. Seeing a wagging tail we decided to make a dog happy and brought our dog Charlie along too. The clay soil make the steeper parts of the trails a bit slippery but still easily managed if you took a little care.
