| Butterfly in Fishkill NY near Hudson River |
The Butterfly bush in Fishkill, NY, had more visitors. Quite lovely and enjoyable to view.
I spotted a Great Blue Heron during a walk at Long Dock Park in Beacon, NY on the Hudson River. Catching it in a graceful flight was gratifying.

A neighbor of my daughter's in Beacon has a bird station where I saw a Red-bellied Woodpecker (lower left). Treading softly on the "Rail Trail" in LaGrange helped me photograph a Black-capped Chickadee (lower right).
On September 30, I attended the Spirit of Beacon Parade. Various organizations, as well as the schools marched. The marchers, in photo to the left, were dressed beautifully in their colorful gowns. As I walked along the parade route, I spotted a happy crowd encircling a stage, waiting to hear Pete Seeger sing. The parade was enjoyed by many residents.
