Pachaquack Preserve(Valatie)

Went for a nice evening walk on a beautiful Thursday night at the Pachaquack Preserve in the village of Valatie.  Finally feeling like true spring weather the last couple days...what a great way to end the month of April! Just before arriving at the Preserve, I stopped at the Beaver Cotton Mill Falls Overlook.  This view of the cascading waters on the Kinderhook Creek never disappoints.

 The evening was quiet as I strolled along the creek's banks.  Such a peaceful night.

 Plant life has really sprung to life the last couple days, with much more green budding everywhere since this past weekend.

Although I dealt with mosquitoes for the first time this year, it was a very satisfying short walk along the Kinderhook Creek on a pleasant spring night.
