Just thought about this hike that I did quite a while a go. I saw this tree standing aside the trail and I tried if it would make a good photo.
And actually I planned to go back there - which I still didn't!
Anyways. Just wanted to share it with you 🙂

The background is filled with various shades of green, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The image captures the essence of a dense jungle or an old-growth forest. The tree's roots are partially visible, adding to the sense of age and permanence. This scene showcases the beauty of nature, with the tree standing as a sym…

I took this #photo when I thought that I'd be almost there. - Because I had mostly looked about the elevation. But as you might see on the photo, the way flattens a bit towards the summit.
Well, it was a great trail - it just took longer then I assumed.

Purple and white Cosmos Flower with a very narrow depth of field that turns the background into a psychedelic field of green and brown smudges and white sparkles
#photo #photography #flowers

Flower with 8 petals that are purple on the edges but streaked white in their centers with a brown disc with numerous little yellow florets,  the flower is slightly to the lower left of center and fills maybe 30% of the area of the frame,  a bit of another shriveled up flower can be seen at the upper left and th rest of the background is defocused foliage, stems and soil with sparkly white circles towards the lower right

Wide shot of the new Computer Science building and the plaza in front of it as seen from Gates hall. They're putting in lots of landscaping and digging a pond on the other side and I'm excited to get a shot of that side as soon as I can
#photo #photography

Building in a shape a bit like an "L" but with a more than 90 degree angle which notably has alternating light and dark stripes of stell and glass sections on the upper floors and stone-colored and glass sections of a different width at the base.  In front find a plaza with large concrete wlakways and sections of short cropped grass with a few trees recently olanted and streetlights and behind a blue sky punctuated with white cumulus clouds.

About halfway through my April 13 photos and calling it a night; Penn Nº 5 Ryan Taylor bounces the ball so Nº 16 Gavin Collins can bring it home past catcher Nº 19 Mark Quatrani -- can't stress too much how much fun it is to catch a game at Booth Field!

Batter 5 has his bat pointing diagonally up while there is a splash of dirt below the ball that just bounced off the ground, the catcher has his arm out behind him and another Penn player in a grey jersey and blue cap is getting ready to move while a referee in a black jacket looks on

#cornell #lacrosse had a historic season this year winning the NCAA championship; Apr 26 was the last game of the regular season at Schoellkopf Field against Dartmouth, the Big Red won 10-8; № 15 attack CJ Kirst passes to № 1 attack Michael Long

On the 1/3 line from the left two men are lined up,  both wearing red helmets, red shorts, white jerseys with red numbers and lacrosse sticks.  The ball is hanging in the area between them.  Behind them count two photographers taking pictures from the alternate sidelines and numerous yellow dandilions sprouting in the margin

Daffodil in Ithaca's concrete jungle in the second week of April; my dirty secret is I'm sitting on hundreds if not thousands of undeveloped photos of daffodils -- I'll post plenty of them in next year's daffodil season, but why wait?

All-yellow daffodil on the right side of the frame with a green stem coming up from the the bottom far-right.  Behind it are darker and lighter red stripes,  blurred out, of what's probably a brick wall and I think some kind of brown plant.

The view south from my barn about a week and a half ago when the smoke from the wildfires in Canada was really bad and there was noticeable haze over even short sightlines -- what a relief when winds over the Midwest started heading north.

There's a close hedgerow on the left and a huge dead polar tree on the right that's going to drop in my driveway someday,  and below that tree a red very run down hay wagon in a grassy field that has since been cut.
