Rainy morning! Great day for a trip to Tupper lake to visit the wild center then head to the Adirondack museum! Around when we arrived at the wild cent the rain stopped and a beautiful afternoon began! Watching the otters play and the fish swim is always intriguing! The best part was a video telling the story of the migration patterns of the Monarch butterflies! To be honest, when the scientists finally discovered where the butterflies were disappearing to, after years and years of searching, I was a little bit teary. I love all things butterflies Driving back taking photos at random locations of Adirondack animal art and beautiful scenery with mountainous backdrops was refreshing. Stopped for an ice cream lunch of ADK Trail Mix and Toasted S'Mores, delicious!
One has to love a cuddly wooden teddy bear!
Last stop was the museum which was filled with culture exhibits and discovered many of the elements resembled that of what we saw in Durand's work at Huntington yesterday. I particularly enjoyed looking at the horse drawn wagons for firefighting, snow travel and mass transportation. It is amazing how far we have come and how much we still have to learn about the world around us, how to use it and protect it. As we looked around the museum the furnishings were in perfect condition but not touched where at Huntington the elements were functional in most locations, I wonder what the people who made them would think. Would they be sad they are not used or would they be honored to have their work protected in such a fashion?
Off to see what the rest of the afternoon is to bring!
