A yellow flower with 6 irregular petals and maybe 1 or 2 missing would have a circumscribed circle fill about 70% of the square frame it is in; it is not quite in perfect focus and shaows of some of its petals can be seen on a green leaf behind it that is really unfocused, the background to the upper right turns from dark purple to light purple as you go down.

The Student Agency building is the first thing if you head out of Cornell towards Collegtown -- tomorrow I'm hoping to post some photos of a big yellow crane that just went up in this neighborhood but I've got to get through photos of my trip to Newark Valley and Oakley Corners State Forest first
#photo

A 7 story or so broad building had brown bricks at the the top and a sign that reads THE STUDENT AGENCY BUILDING, below that the front has a glass facade that reflects a sky with clouds and towards your right, a red brick facade. In front find a Hertz rental van, a garden of brownish green (color graded) foliage and a road. Above: a subdued (color graded) blue sky with a few clouds, Behind: other buildings a little less tall and some parked cars.

If I hadn't had helpers with umbrellas I would have been stuck in the nearby lean-to reading a book about Kitsune legends of Japan -- here I am reading before the event took place, unfortunately the images of the lean-to I took got corrupted but I'll be back!

A book open on a wood plank floor with notable grain; on the left find a bookmark picture of a beautiful woman with yellow eyes and red hair sitting on the edge of the outside floor of a Japanese house in a made outfit with fox ears and tail and a fan that says たまも(tamamo) and has a little doodle of a fox on it; on the left find a story printed in letterpress with the header "The Story of An Imperial Household Guard Office Disillusioned by an Act of a Fox"

If you go to a bigger running event you see a lot of people at the finish line who look really "run down" but at smaller events you get runners who are experienced and irrepressible even when it comes to heavy rain and steep hills
#running #photo

Three runners on a trail between two trees with square white blazes. In front a woman with a billed cap, big smile, tie dyed shirt and crazy shorts and socks with a green bib that says 593 and behind her a man with a beard and boonie cap also with a tie dyed shirt and his arms spread out diagonally and a third runner much further away who seems more subdued.

View looking south from the hill near where I was taking photographs this morning in James Kennedy State Forest (the #marathon is for the town of Marathon, NY which is roughly 26 miles from Ithaca)

The upper half of the image is a cloudscape, the lower half is mostly a grassy yellow field with some hedgerows and tree-colored hills in between

Echinacea in front of my barn, I was seeing these everywhere two months ago and now they're all gone
#photo #photography #flowers

A field of maybe 40 Purple Coneflowers rise up out of the lower right side of the frame filling the middle of the photo with a dense bed of green foliage under them behind them from left to right is a red barn door, a cluster of four pink somethings, the dark outline of a tractor and something blurry and white above a patch of slightly brown dirt

Atrium of New Computing and Information Science Building With Workers Still Finishing Up
#photo #photography #buildings

We're on the ground floor of a building with a wood floor, to the left is a large-looking black framed door with a man riding a scissors lift to do finish work, a glass-fronted room and a row of video signs are on the far wall as well as a hallway leading back, to the right is an exit, above there's a hole in the ceiling showing a triangle of yellow lit ceiling bounded by a stairway spiralling around, the near ceiling has numerous bright lights, the closest one of which has a glorious 10-p…

Row of townhouse apartments at the Maplewood complex on Veterans Place Rd, Ithaca NY
#photo #photography #buildings

9 crenelations of a long apartment buildings go from the distance in the far left off the right side of the frame, most of these are yellow but some are grey, some look like they're made of brick, others look like wood siding, there are always three rows of windows but the designs are mixed up to keep it interesting, close cropped grass is in front, one tree is visible behind the building and one big cumulus cloud in blue sky

In the foreground a football player all in red with white lettering C and Cornell, 18 and stripes is carrying the ball and charging from left to right and is being grabbed from behind by a football player who you can barely see because he's behind the first player but you can see a bit of gold helmet and white jersey and blue pants, behind a green field subdivided by a white stripe running diagnoally and a number of people with dark pants and white shirts can be seen on the far sideline out of…

I think this is 𝐿𝑎𝑝𝑠𝑎𝑛𝑎 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑠, the common nipplewort, one of many aster-family flowers I see in Shindagin Hollow State Forest
#photo #photography #bloomscrolling

A yellow aster-family plant with two head-on flowers seen towards the upper left and one edge on at the lower left attached to a branching structure where there are some seeds I think sticking out to the lower right as well as some flowers budding at the upper left, behind out of focus are patches of green and brown

Near the vertical 1/3 and 2/3 lines from the bottom up find a flower on the left and on the right with a backdrop of dark green foliage. Both flowers are daffodils with six white petals and a ragged orange core

I found the discus to be challenging because of the busy net in the background but you see people throwing can look like Greek statues so I want to give it another try
#sports #photo #photography…

A large black man is caught for a moment while he throws the discus, seen in his right (your left) hand with his left foot off the ground and shadow visible on a circular platform and his left hand out. He's looking up and to the right and has blue shorts, a green shirt that says SYRACUSE CHARGERS and a green and yellow stripe headband

Toddler moves towards an outreached hand in the first heat of the 100 meter race (FLRC runs from slow to fast so that the timers will know what they're doing when it counts)

A toddler wearing a purple-pink hat and purple T-shirt has a bib that says 472 in yellow on a red background and light blue pants and little tiny shoes has her back foot off the ground as she advances towards an outstretched hand that can be seen in the background, the incomplete image of another toddler and adult following them can be seen in the lane to the left

View from creek level at Monkey Run: there's a research farm on top of the bluff on the far side. (That little blotch in the upper center is a Monarch butterfly!)
#photo #photography #landscape

A creek curves from the lower right of the image towards the center left. The first half at the bottom is a rocky beach that gets thinner and disappears from view halfway up the frame, obscured by a patch of green vegetation; there are a few rocks sticking out of the brown looking water, above that is a dirt bluff which looks bare to the right side, has a few trees on top of it near the center, and has a forest in the background on the left side. Above all a blue sky with filamentous clo…

Zinnias are another favorite of mine that I'm stocking up on, the best thing about these is they come in such a wide range of colors and gradients of color
#photo #photography #flowers

Zinnia flower is a great big flattened globe of petals ranging from orange-red at the very top to just plain orange at the bottom, a bit of a damaged yellow flower can be seen underneath it, behind it all are patches of green (I think) foliage and brown (I think) earth.

Purple coneflowers are everywhere in the mid-summer; I caught these on July 17th -- I took enough pictures of them that I'll still have some to show all winter! One of their many virtues is being native to North America
#photo #photography

A flower with a round sort of cone with lots of spikes sticking out of it in the center surrounded by long pink petals with thin stripes along the length fading out to white at the edge is in the lower right of the frame, another one of the same type is defocused further away in the upper left, lots of angular but blurry foliage is all around.

We can see the torso of a young woman who is obviously turning sharply who's wearing the blue jersey of Ithaca College with 31 with her hair tied back, number 11 is facing the other way also with her hair tied back, on the back wall out of focus we can see a television crew of three people with one person holding a camera, another standing and another sitting
