Warm evening sunlight, a chestnut pony, and bright white birches make a perfect combination.

New Jersey & New York
While the distant New Jersey countryside looks comparatively two-dimensional, the structure of Manhattan and Hoboken are so vertical.
Sundial Overlooking the Valley
From its perch in the hills above New Paltz, Mohonk Mountain House has an exceptional view on clear days.
Training a Small Pony
I hear that ponies can have a lot more attitude than horses, and that the amount of attitude can get larger as they get smaller. I don’t know if that’s true, but this particular small pony seemed to have attitude to spare.
Empty Mohonk Dock
Mohonk Mountain House’s dock is normally busy with canoes and paddle-boats during the warmer months, but that’s… uh… not the case when ice and snow encrust the wood.
Cats Love Raw Denim
In addition to being a bit too interested in cameras and cars and wrist watches, I’ve also managed to pick up another cliché male millennial interest: raw selvedge denim. This barn cat apparently approves (or at least tolerates) it.
Governors Island (No Apostrophe)
Seen here from the One World Observatory on a sunny Sunday morning, Governors Island has been mostly transformed to park space. On the right side of the island, you can see the Longines Global Champions Tour grounds are still in place from the day before.

When an afternoon of riding at Fox Rust has finished, it’s back to the barn (in the distance), accompanied by a barn cat escort.
Winter Streets I & II
Winter in the North Country grips the homes and streets of Canton, New York.
Goodest Boy
A friendly barn dog is ready to qualify in the running for title of Goodest Boy.
Flags in the Chapel
St. Lawrence’s chapel is filled with the flags of many nations, but they look even better when paired with a crowd of people—hopefully someday again.
Awaiting Student Return II
The campus previously lay fallow under a winter break snow crust, but we once again (just as in August) successfully managed to safely return the students to campus for another semester at St. Lawrence University.
Storm on the Adirondack Horizon at Sunset
When an autumn day at St. Lawrence University ends with a storm above the Adirondacks, those horizon raindrops scatter warm hues back to the quadcopter camera.
Saturday Morning in Narnia
Students tell me that St. Lawrence’s campus reminds them of Narnia, and I have to admit I find the comparison particularly apt on snowy Saturday mornings when it’s time to get an egg sandwich.
Summer Feeling
Days are getting longer and I know (in spite of temperatures below -10ºF) that summer will eventually return.
