With my new computer finally on line, I'm able to get back with all of my Flickr friends. I really missed all of you and truly appreciate the emails of concern that I received. It's going to take some time to catch up, but starting today I'm going to work hard at it.

From Wikipedia: "Rensselaer Lake is an artificial lake in Albany, NY named for Major-General Stephen Van Rensselaer, last patroon of Rensselaerswyck. The lake was Albany's first municipally-owned source of water (originally dammed in 1851). It is part of a 57 acre park and the state's Albany Pine Bush Preserve. The lake and park have been under the purview of the Albany Water Authority since 2003."
