Joe Pye Weed Comes Up from the Lower Right Corner and Has 4 Clusters of Leaves that Come Out before it bifurcates multiple times into purple flowers, behind it find a pond where you can see little crevasses on the muddy bottom that gets blurrier as you get further away.

If the painted alliums in Minn's Garden behind the Plant Science Building aren't famous, they should be -- hopefully tomorrow I'll have some shots for you that I took in parts of Monkey Run you have to wade to reach

Two soft-focused flower clusters right of center are red and white and have a background of green, white and yellow speckles.

This is a real sunflower, real as in "not a paper cutout of a sunflower"
#photo #photography #flowers

A sunflower that looks so stereotypical it could be a paper model of a sunflower or the logo of the German Green Party

My wife, my friend Harry, and barn cat Queen Jane in front of my barn
#photo #photography #bloomscrolling

Towards the center left find a woman wearing a green knee-length skirt and a blue shirt holding a large black vat and next to her a man with grey hair and a beige shirt and blue jeans. Behind them a stone wall, two evergreen trees, a few lily flowers to the left, and many purple coneflower to the right, and behind that a red barn wall with a blue stripe painted on it, through the open door you might make out a blue tractor

I photographed this goldenrod on the same pond as I saw the boy fishing this time with the Tamron 28-200mm lens which I pack a lot since it is really versatile.
#photo #photography #goldenrod …

A sprig of Goldenrod comes up from the lower right and bifurcates to fill a diamond-shaped area mainly in the center to lower right quadrant, behind it a pond with some ripples and at the far end of the pond a two-storied house and yellow-green tree with red, yellow and green foliage behind it, all reflected in the pond

Workmen finishing up the fourth floor of the new CS building -- posting a sixth photo today because, unlike those daffodils, these won't be interesting when the building is no longer new
#photo #photography

Hallway with a brown carpet on the floor, a dropped ceiling with small panels, a mostly white wall on the left interrupted by a conference room about halfway to the end, on the right find a number of offices with glass fronts, at the end of the hallway is a purplish-blue wall with I think a yellow door and green glowing exist sign. A man with a white hardhat, yellow shirt and yellow bag is sitting across from the conference room and working on the front of an office on the other side.

Side view of the back half of a Chevy Impala from the Passenger side with a white stripe from the back that has a metal symbol that looks like a jet airplane on the side parked on a grassy field with a row of deciduous and evergreen trees on the side

Big blue car with tailfins with a white stripe expanding from the front to to the back of the tailfin parked on a gravel parking lot, a man in a hat standspast it next to an outdoor table and a soft serve shack is beyond that under a sky with two big cumulus clouds.

One last running photo for today -- I'll post a few more of my best tomorrow and hopefully a link to my Behance with more, counting down 25 1/2 hours to Caturday

Stairs in the Breazzano Family Center for Business Education which is part of the Johnson School of Business but is out in Collegetown away from the main campus
#photo #photography #architecture

Monochrome Image of two stairways going in opposite directions -- on the right side a staircase rises up halfway away from me, then another staircase heads up on the left back to my side; on the left of it all you can see a street scene through multiple-paned windows.

Steering wheel and dashboard of a Chevrolet Corvair, a controversial car that was ahead of it's time that's still popular with collectors

Looking into the driver's side of a car from the side window where we can see the whole circle of the streering wheel with three recessed dials beyond it and a dew circular knobs and footmats that say Corvair.

Here's a picture of the Ithaca Farmer's Market I took when it was closed; in the peak season it has 5000 visitors each Saturday and Sunday; last weekend I took photos of vendors, I'll be developing those after I finish my April 26 tranche including a historic Lacrosse game, Magnolias in front of the courthouse, and daffodils in the rain

An empty wood-framed structure with a floor made ofthin wood boards; there are the gaps between the main roof that covers the pedestrian area and the roofs covered vendor stalls that can be seen to the left and the right

This is what you get when you take a picture of the sun with the Laowa 9mm -- sunstars! Here's a road west of Dryden Lake
#photo #photography #landscape

The camera is very close to a road which has a thick gravel edge, across the road is a hedgrerow, then fields, then forested hills and above that a dark blue sky where the sun has 10 points

Man attempts high jump at Trackapalooza 2025 held at Groton High School way in the Northeast corner of Tompkins County
#photo #photography #sports

We're looking almost edge-on to the high jump and a man with dark glasses, billed cap and nike shorts seems suspended in the air just about the bar with his arms spread out wide and torso almost horizontal while his legs are bent at the knee at an almost 90 degree angle -- behind him are two volunteers watching who are running the event and a blue tent, a high school building, lots of grass, pennant flags and two athletes milling around

Walking back to our car from the car show at Little York Lake we saw this couple holding hands with shirts reflecting a positive Christianity

We're looking at the back of a couple holding hands in a parkihng lot with a big grey pickup truck with a covered bed behind them. The man, just a bit left of center is wearing jeans, sneakers and a blue shirt that reads: BE THE CHURCH Protect the environment. Care for the poor. Forgive often. Reject racism. Fight for the powerlessness. Share natural and spiritual resources. Embrace diversity. Love God. Enjoy this life. To woman, to the right (his right since he's facing away) has a pink sh…

Here's a view of Little York Lake looking south from Dwyer Memorial Park -- so far as I can tell "Little York" is one of the four Yorks of New York
#photo #photography #landscape…

Wide angle shot of a lake with grass on the lower right, a body of water with sky and clouds reflected in it, a dark strip of trees coming in from the left, a typical upstate New York hill on rising on the right with some lake houses on the shore and stretched out cumulus clouds in a blue sky above.
