Partridge Run is an almost 15,000 acre parcel of public hunting grounds and state forests that are always interesting to explore, and only located about 20 miles from Albany. These are the pictures I took on that particular Sunday in January.

Dog Looks Up. I was out snowshoeing with the dog. The snow was deep enough in some places that he had to hop through the snow, and his paw kind of froze up from the cold after a while, but he was fine once they thawed out.
