August is by far the hottest month of the year. Everybody heads down to Singletary Pond for a dip, or walks down through Purgatory Chasm, where it's nice and cool in the shade!





In August I usualy turn my attention to taking tons of bird photos. The goldfinches are in their full summer colors -



We have our summer visitors like the red-breasted grosbeak -



Sometimes we'll even see bluebirds! -



In August 2011, Hurricane Irene hit us and caused massive power outages. Many trees came down including three separate ones blocking parts of Central Turnpike. Here's a trio of trees which snapped a pole on Lincoln Road.

Three days later, the weather was gorgeous and I went for a boat ride on Ramshorn Pond. What a difference a few days make! It was beautiful out.
