I’ve hiked the Cornish Trail in Hudson Highlands State Park a couple of times. It’s a pretty chill walk with a nice abandoned building about 1 mile in. I spotted something different over the weekend. Maybe it’s new. More likely, I hadn’t noticed it. The wooden gazebo sat atop the hill a little off the…
I could walk for miles without getting tired. Urban walking and hiking through the woods are different stories, though. In the city or park, I have the comfort of knowing help is close by. In the middle of the woods, I may have to rescue myself. Walking several miles on paved road is simple. Walking…
She didn’t know how she got small enough to use a mushroom as a house. The answer sat on the edge of her memory but no matter how hard she concentrated, it wouldn’t move within reach. It has been years, maybe centuries. She watched the tall people grow up and grow old. She never changed….
I stumbled onto some little spring treasures on my walk with Oreo. Flowers are pretty in general, especially during the spring when they’re everywhere. But, it’s more interesting to find unusual ones. My neighborhood has a lot of red and yellow tulips so when I see other colors, I get excited. Photographing these flowers straight…
“Spring passes and one remembers one’s innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one’s exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one’s reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one’s perseverance.” –Yoko Ono Flowers swayed as they walked by. Tree branches brushed their arms. The tall grass wound around their legs. The entire forest was alive and it…
Feels like forever since I did a season inspiration post. I’m so happy it’s spring. One of my favorite seasons. The weather is supposed to be mild. It’s not. We’re living in 40 degrees here in New York. Last week, we hit 70. I want that back. It’s April. I should be putting away my…
I usually stick to nature photography, but recently I’ve branched into taking shots of architecture. I prefer old buildings, ones with some history and personality. I’ve also been taking pictures of ordinary objects that are a bit different. I’ve never seen a silver fire hydrant and I love the way its shadow is positioned I…
We had beautiful weather over the weekend. Perfect for walking to the park with my dog, Oreo, and my new camera! I’ve been trying to sell more of my pictures on Shutterstock but they keep getting rejected. First I has exposure problems. I took a Lynda.com course and read a few articles. I generally don’t…
*Sigh*. Summer’s over. Well, not over officially but most of us see Labor Day as the end of summer. At least that killer cold doesn’t hit until November, for New York anyway. Fall is beautiful. All is not lost. Got some great pics this summer!
A few photos for your inspiration! Walking around the park flexes my world building muscles. My park just added pedal boats and bike rental. Prospect Park is stepping up their game. Last year, they expanded the park interior and add a splash pad, skating rink and a restaurant. I’ve seen these types of birds around…
