During historic times, the Mohawk Trail evolved with the mode of transportation, advancing from foot travel to the automobile. The early European settlers used the Indian Path to travel between the English settlements of Boston and Deerfield, and the Dutch settlements in New York. The white settlers and traders brought with them the horse and the wheel, which required the widening and slight relocation of the original path.
Over the course of the centuries, the native population had reached agreements on territorial matters of hunting and fishing. The Pocumtuck, of the Massachusetts portion of the Connecticut River Valley, shared salmon fishing spots with the Mohawk of New York on the Connecticut and Deerfield Rivers. The most notable of those fishing sites were turners Falls on the Connecticut and Shelburne Falls on the Deerfield.
Their population considerably reduced by disease from early contact with European explorers, the native people were not able to effectively protect their homelands. With English intervention from their settlement in the lower Connecticut River Valley and the Dutch in the lower valley of the Hudson River in New York, Political unrest was established between the agricultural Pocumtuck and the expansionist Mohawk. The Europeans wanted the Indian lands, and pitting one tribe against the other seemed a good way to accomplish their goal.
French King Bridge, ErvingThe English and Dutch arranged a "peace" conference between the two tribes. However, a Mohawk of high tribal standing was killed and the Pocumtuck people were blamed. The furious Mohawk sent their warriors quickly over the Indian Trail and annihilated the Pocumtuck settlements. The English now had no resistance to their advancement up the Connecticut River. Moreover, the Dutch took the opportunity of the Mohawk's diverted attention to pursue their interests farther up the Hudson River. With place names, then as now, the recognition goes to the victor..."The Mohawk Trail".
During the Colonial period many notable personages traveled "The Trail". Metacomet, called King Philip by the English, traveled "The Trail" about 1676 in an unsuccessful effort to recruit the Mohawk. King Philip's War also proved unsuccessful in stopping the European invasion.
Great Blue Heron bird (Ardea herodias), Rocky River Reservation, Cleveland Metroparks. Very cloudy day, sun came out at the right moment. He was scratching because the bugs were bothering him ... But I like how it also looks like he is giving a "high five!" This is one of my favorite photographs I've taken. :) I got completely muddy and wet to get it.

Here is my 2year old with a mohawk. I just did it for fun. He needed a hair cut his hair was really long and out of control due to his two calic's one infront of his head and one in the back. It's funny they go in opposite directions so his hair sticks straight up all the time. I thought since it did that it would be perfect for a mohawk. He just had it for two days. In those two days he went from hateing it to crying that I cut it off. I'll I know I am not going to church with it like this. Plus I was embarrised at the park and grocery store. He is a funny little guy. I think he looks too cute with a mohawk.
Processed this picture useing Wynona's actions. Love these action's.
This man had a real stunning look to him and I thought he would make a super portrait. I saw him most of the day and then finally I asked him if I could take his photo. He was very congenial and happy to pose for me. I took him to a shaded area because I liked the light much better in the shade. It was difficult shooting that day because the sun was shining brightly and for me causes harsh shadows. .
I saw this girl in town today and had to ask her to let me photograph her. She seemed happy to pose with her colourful hair and outfit.

Harper Mason didn’t remember the bombs dropping, the wasn’t even born. Her parents hadn’t even been born then. This burned world was the only one she had ever known. Harper Mason was a survivor. From the age of twelve, she had worked for the Atomic City Couriers. And she hadn’t given up when Doc Green had amputated her arm after that thresher mutant had torn half of it away. No, she’d gone out and recovered an M511 unit, and it’s arm grafted on. Now it was the Threshers that had to be wary of her. So they would all know her, she shaved her hair into a Mohawk. Eventually, they all knew her only as “Mohawk the courier”, the most dependable source of good news in the country.
