Synopsis

A clear, swift-running stream, an exhilarating whitewater stretch of river, the mesmerizing rhythm of waves on an ocean beach, each has a story to tell. Set mostly in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State, the stories in Water Reflections explore the author's delight in being in or near water, whether as an active participant or an appreciative observer. In a series of memoirs that extend from the 1940's to the present, the reader is invited to check out the sights and sounds that are a part of these experiences. So come watch the early morning mist rise on Schroon Lake, or paddle on Lake Champlain along the shores of North Hero Island, or hike up Mount Marcy alongside Johns Brook, all without ever leaving the house.
