Harriman State Park was supposed to have been the site of a prison. At the turn of the 20th century the property, instead, was donated by the Harriman family to be specifically used as a 10,000 public acre park near Bear Mountain, New York, 30 miles north of New York City.
We, as I am sure many others, are very happy that it wasn't.
In this time of world turmoil, it truly fed our souls.
"If, of thy mortal goods, thou art bereft,
And from thy slender store two loaves alone to thee are left,
Sell one, and with dole
Buy hyacinths to feed the soul"
- Muslihuddin Sadi
This little half day trip was our 'hyacinths." That's how we felt here in this beautiful place on earth. It was a place of peace and rejuvenation. How could it be? So close, yet so far away from the chaos and clamour of the City. It was just a little gift of God.
Oh How Lovely Was the Morning!

SO Pretty! Hope I can see it in person someday. Isn't fall the greatest??
I love it! It is absolutely gorgeous! Usually, pics don't do things justice but yours do. Lets not kid ourselves Sharon, its not that you wanted to break into song..its that you DID break into song!
BEAUTIFUL!! Your pictures turned out so good---I've always wanted to see the fall foliage back east and now I've been able to ;)
We're so glad you made it to this beautiful spot. We loved Spring here, not much of Summer, but Fall is the best! Should we all extend? Love you two also.
Just like São Paulo,
Beautiful place and pictures!!!
Lots of Succes!!!
Flávio.
