Glorious Summer at the Normans Kill Preserve West in the Capital District, Upstate New York

There’s nothing like the height of summer.  Long hours of sunshine paired with lush greenery is what I look forward to all year and is what I got to enjoy at the Normans Kill Preserve West.  Add golden hour to the mix, that special time just before sunset where the angle of the sun casts a warm glow on everything it touches, with stark shadows on everything else, and you have a pretty perfect setting.
