Off The Beaten Path

There are so many beautiful places, here in the Berkshires, that are well known to residents and tourists alike, but some of my favorite places are a little less traveled. Ashmere Lake is situated on the Hinsdale/Peru town line close to my home. I love to take my kayak out on a quiet afternoon and paddle its many peaceful coves and shorelines.

I'd love to hear from you about your favorite "off the beaten path" spots. I'm looking for creative submissions of all kinds - photos, videos, poems, short stories, paintings, drawings, etc. - about the quiet places that inspire you. You can either post them or send them to me at my email address: perulaura@gmail.com, along with your name and the location and I'll put them up. I'll start by sharing some photos of a recent paddling trip to Ashmere.
