September plein air:  Lois took part in a September Landscape Workshop offered by the Woodstock School of Art and Kate McGloughlin.  The workshop emphasized September sunlight on Hudson Valley landscapes.  Once again it was a most enjoyable experience.

On September 6th students visited the Thorn Preserve on John Joy Road in Woodstock.  This sixty acre preserve is operated as a partnership between the Catskill Center for Conservation and Development and The Woodstock Land Conservancy with views of Overlook Mountain.

Dividing weir:  The Dividing Weir, which is eleven hundred twenty feet in length and consists of fifteen arches, separates the west and east basins of the mighty Ashokan Reservoir.  Autumn is a time of year when walkers, bikers, and bird watchers alike can be found along the Ashokan, New York City’s oldest Catskill reservoir, enjoying the sights.
