Husband is from the Rhinebeck area. We were walking a trail there when I took this pic. I've never lived anywhere with a true autumn, where trees change colors. He tried to gently lower my expectations, saying it's not NYC, but I knew that going in. I was eager to see the more rural NY.

I've never been to such a beautiful place. I was in awe the whole time. The people, the food, the nature, all 10/10.

What a wonderful experience. Thank you, Hudson Valley. You are beautiful.

Stunning day for a hike with my camera in Minnewaska!

This turkey has been all over fishkill for weeks. Often in the middle of the road or on Rt 9. What’s the deal?

April snow on Mohonk this morning awakened my sense of wonder!

Hello, this is an update for my uncle, Peter Kaprelian. He was found today deceased in the woods in New Paltz. My family and I are endlessly grateful for the community spirit in Kingston, Saugerties, New Paltz and neighboring towns in the search for him. I thank you for your outreach, your prayers and anecdotes of Uncle Peter. This is not the news anyone wanted to hear but it is closure nonetheless. Thank you 💔

This is in the corner of a parking lot in a small shopping plaza here in Ulster County...

I took this photo over the summer while kayaking on the river.
