I tried like crazy to get the guy in the red coat isolated as he moved around, but it was not possible.
I was the only photographer in the park on yesterday's wonderful 60 degree day. The others were dog walkers and fishermen. Today it's frigid again.
Over the years, this tree beside Irondequoit Creek is listing further and further from straight up. Meanwhile its exposed roots server as a "stopper" for the fallen leaves of autumn.
Lots and lots of fisher folk everywhere at Irondequot Creek at Linear/ Philbrick Park today. There's one of them in blaze orange. I know, I know....it's got power lines and something that looks like a muffler up top. But when I cropped all that out I lost some fall color and besides it just didn't look right....so there you are.

sign reads: "The Falls of Irondequoit Creek dropped 90 feet in a mile - called 'scoh-sa-is-that' by the Indians, later gave power to many Mills"

I hooked 4 fish this morning landing two small rainbow/steelhead. The state stocks small rainbows like this early in the spring. The two trout I caught had no fin clips or deformaties. This may be the offspring from this years steelhead spawn. I need to make a call to the DEC for confirmation!
Two view of the same rapids area at Linear Park. I think you can locate the distinctive fallen tree and the small red tree in each picture.
By the way, does anyone are to guess what kind of tree that red one might be? It has tiny little leaves and was so pretty!
The sun went behind a cloud for a few seconds.
What looks like someone climbing up the main tree assisted by a rope is actually protruding roots from the tree across the creek
This is the beginning of the Irondequoit Creek upstream rapids seen in an earlier picture. I thought the reflections above the rapids crest looked kind of neat.
A million years ago this might have been a 200 ft. high waterfall on Irondequoit Creek. Waterfalls wear down and out.
Now it's just a very pretty spot in Philbrick Park that deserves a picture.
NO INVITES OR ICONS PLEASE
This is a favorite spot of mine on Irondequoit Creek in Linear Park. The close water amazes me. When you look at it superficially it would seem to be not much deeper than the water upstream. But when you look more carefully you can see that it's probably 4 ft. deep as opposed to an inch or so up where the rocks are.
Of Irondequoit Creek at Channing Philbrick/Linear Park. Thanks in-camera HDR for making this shot possible. The sun was really intense in this spot.
The tag people must be out to lunch. Not working as I type this.
Actually it's a fishing line that has gotten caught on a branch over the creek. Over time moisture from the fast-moving creek has caught hold on the line and frozen.
The "snake" is moving back and forth in the slight breeze created by the white water. When I used a higher shutter speed to freeze the "snake" the water around it looked terrible, but I think you can see the serpent pretty well here.
Any objections? :-})
Long ago there used to be a bridge here.
I have found this site very accurate and very useful so far. You can check out your favorite waterway to see what the flow is. I would imagine there are similar maps for other states.....

This is essentially a closer version of the picture of this area where many fish in Linear Park that included the fisherman, but it does give the viewer an opportunity to observe the little mini-falls better as Irondequoit Creek proceeds onwards on its journey.
NO INVITES PLEASE
.....after you've had a Stress Echo test. Which is, as you might surmise, very stressful. Stress reducing Channing Philbrick/Linear Park.
After spending a half hour trying to get this shot, it turned out that pictures without me in it are much better.
