How About that Crazy Weather Last Weekend?

Gail Stein January 14, 2016November 8, 2017

Torrential rains, excessive fog, wind, thunder, sudden breaks of unexpected sunshine, and that double rainbow! Last Sunday, we had a little bit of everything...And I went out to see what I could photograph....

Some Sweet and Meaningful Words Go a Long Way…

I recently received the nicest, KINDEST private message from someone who follows the Frozen Moments In and Around Saratoga FB page (https://www.facebook.com/frozen.moments.toga/).I want to share it (and the writer gave me permission) because it is just such a striking example...

Happy 2016!

Happy New Year! It's a brand new month, a brand new year, a brand new page in the stories of our lives. (As I re-read the previous sentence, I kind of wonder how sappy that may sound, but it is...

Having lived most of her life in the neighboring town of Burnt Hills, NY, Gail was privileged to have grown up on the outskirts of the Saratoga area...visiting the track, picnicking at the State Park with her parents and family, enjoying concerts and the ballet at SPAC, swimming, shopping, and enjoying the nightlife on a regular basis throughout the years. Her children were also raised in Burnt Hills and enjoyed the same Saratoga pastimes. In January of 2014, Gail sold her home of 29 years, headed 22 miles north, and planted herself solidly in the the heart of Saratoga, the area she has loved for a lifetime. An avid photography enthusiast, she now finds herself surrounded by the beauty, history and magic that is Saratoga...all just begging to be photographed and shared.

"It's one thing to have spent my life enjoying Saratoga as a neighboring visitor, but it's a whole new ball game now that I'm actually in the heart of things," she explains. "I am now only minutes away from Yaddo, the racetrack and downtown. The longer I am here, the more I am learning about the history and tourism of this amazing city." Join Gail as she sets out with her camera in hand and explores, photographs and shares her discoveries, both in Saratoga and in the surrounding areas. See the beauty through her eyes and through her lens, and read as she chronicles her discoveries, and shares her thoughts and impressions. As she sees it, "There's so much beauty here and it's always an adventure!"
