So long as the weather lasts, we’ll be out on the quads, lounging in Adirondack chairs.
Chillin’ on the Quad

Daycare on the Quad
The Trinity Fall 2026 semester officially begins tomorrow, but a few quiet moments remain on campus before the rush begins.
Golden Dome in Summer
The deep green leaves of late summer makes a perfect match to the bright golden dome of the Connecticut State Capitol.
Porsche in the Shadows
Earlier sunsets mean dramatic shadows on the way home from work.
Deep Excavation ‘Neath the Chemistry Building
Steam pipe repairs and upgrades outside Trinity College’s Clement Chemistry Building have introduced a dramatic, Star-Wars-worthy pit outside the building that suggests a far more interesting adventure than the realities of winter heating.
Green Summer on the South Elkhorn Creek
Unlike past summers, when drought left central Kentucky crispy, a rainy summer produced lush foliage around the bridge over the South Elkhorn Creek.
Graduating ‘Neath the Elms
Trinity sings of being “‘Neath the Elms” for our alma mater, but I haven’t been able to capture that experience at Commencement quite so literally prior to now.
Mohonk Boats, Day and Night
From “open for business” to “sleeping on the dock,” Mohonk Mountain House’s boats present lovely repeating patterns.
Summer Job
As summer jobs go, lifeguarding on Lake Mohonk seems like a pretty good one.
Dry Amidst Lush at Julien’s Farm Store Garden
Amidst the overgrown, riotous, lush, nourishing garden of Julien’s Farm Store (perhaps the best breakfast in northern Connecticut), this trellis-like arrangement of sticks supporting an array of growing vines stands out for its profound lack of photosynthetic light absorbers.
Bushnell Tower with a Great Sky
A Romantic sunset sky with lots of highly textured clouds makes a perfect companion for the rough but linear concrete forms of I.M. Pei’s Bushnell Tower.
Light Academia
If “Dark Academia” has become a fairly well-worn genre with familiar tropes, I can’t say I’d mind finding a more optimistic and friendly version—less secret knowledge driving cults towards madness, more dragging indoor furniture into the sunshine to produce a comfy afternoon study spot.
Mohonk Swimming and Boating
Boaters can’t swim across the lake (without checking with a guard first) and boaters can’t enter the swimming area, but they interact across a thin membrane of ropes and floats. Look at that log, moored perpendicular to the floating platform on the right; it splits the difference between the boat/swim categories.
Hotel Floating in the Sky
Glaciers carved deep between stones to create the lake on which Mohonk Mountain House appears to float, but I feel like those glaciers left behind a little bit of their cold blue thermodynamic impact in the colors (and temperature) of the water.
Hartford is Where the Rainbow Ends
Though the laws of optics may prevent me from ever reaching the literal end of a rainbow, this double (nearly triple) rainbow over Hartford certainly captures the emotional content of my central-Connecticut experiences.
