One of the Things I’m Going to Miss September 17, 2009

This little marina on the Erie Canal is located right behind our building.

The kids and I walk down here everyday to watch boats go by.  Hannah buys a sucker at the candy store two doors down from us, and she waits to eat it until we pull up a seat to watch the  boat traffic.  Usually, there is not much by way of “boat traffic” so she usually chats it up with the boat travelers docked at the marina.

It is so calm.  I love to sit and watch people while Hannah runs up and down the grass hill picking dandelions for me.

Obviously, we visit this marina during the day, but I wanted to capture the calmness of this place and photographing it at night enhances that feeling.

We cross this road to get to the marina.  It is usually very busy with traffic during the day, but as you can see . . . at night it’s a different world.

We are leaving this place so soon . . . and I’m sad!  Walking down to the boats is just one of things I’m going to miss doing with the kids.  :(
