For our anniversary a month ago, we decided to check out some brews and wines west of Rochester. We ended the day with dinner and a brew at Stoneyard Brewing Company in Brockport, New York. One could get there via the Barge Canal if one so desired. stoneyardbrewingcompany.com/

We sat on their deck by the canal.

Letchworth State Park. Looking back from the footbridge.

There is a pull-off at the head of the trail along the east rim and down to the Lower Falls footbridge. I followed the trail down to and across the footbridge, up and around the short loop on the west rim, then back down and up the car.

Back at Stony Brook State Park a few days later. I had a few shots left on the Argus so I finished up with it before starting walking.

Downstream from here the gorge soon flattens out. I do not know the story behind this short stretch of concrete and its embedded rocks.

Switching back to the Argus C3 for a bit. It is a good camera but quite different from the Yashica-D; it takes some getting used to.

I scrambled back up to the main overlook and looked down through the flowers.

Wednesday, July 13 I got back to the Letchworth State Park Lower Falls area, which was still closed off when I hiked trail 1 in early June. I drove through rain showers on my way there but had no rain after I started walking. It was still overcast at the beginning of my walk with beautiful subdued lighting at the beginning and bright sun later on.

Two weeks ago at Letchworth State Park. I went exploring on some old trails.

Another Friday at Letchworth. I checked out some connecting trails I had not hiked before. It had rained previously and the high grasses were very wet. Everything from the bottom of my hiking shorts on down was soaked.

The view of the Genesee River from Gardeau Overlook was pretty even in the flat light. I was not interested in clambering down the steep and muddy path to the river edge..

Heading home.

The Seabreeze Water Tower has been a camera magnet for me over the years. It was a big, bright, red and white checkerboard when the folks moved us into the Rochester area in 1958. Now it is a quite lovely, and much less obtrusive, sky blue. But I really liked the checkerboard.

The Argus and I went for a late afternoon walk around the neighborhood. It was a lovely time for light and shadow.

More from Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, April 25, 2021. We decided to take a drive that afternoon, with Montezuma Winery www.montezumawinery.com/ as our destination. Corky went inside to buy some wine; I walked around with the Ondu pinhole.

Montezuma Winery is named for the nearby Montezuma Wildlife Refuge. The outside statuary honors the refuge.

Spielorjh and friends at Charlotte Tavern.

A couple weeks ago at Charlotte Tavern for Tuesday Tunes with eldest offsproing Lanse, aka Spielorjh aka Froggy the Great. Lanse (far left) is in an Irish music group that has a session here on Tuesday evenings. He and his cohorts play beautiful music and I sip a Guinness. And take pictures of whatever catches my eye.

Ghosts of trees and light

This whole roll tended toward blurriness, this one more than most. But sometimes that works in surprising ways.

(I'm guessing the problem was more with steadiness than with focus.)

I tracked down the trailhead for a Letchworth State Park trail I had never hike, mostly because I couldn't figure out just where the trailhead was. It wasn't immediately obvious from the road. The trail itself was fairly nondescript - the remains of an old two-track - but it was pretty down by the water. I had to walk across a hundred yards or so of dried up flood plain to get to the river edge.

I scrambled down to the river edge by a deep washout cut through the flood plain by the runoff from the spring snowmelt. It was a surreal landscape.

Letchworth State Park. Different day, different hike.

There is a pull-off here at the head of the trail along the east rim and down to the Lower Falls footbridge. I followed the trail down to and across the footbridge, up and around the short loop on the west rim, then back down and up the car.

Thursday, January 27 found me on the Amtrak on my way to Atlanta, Georgia for a February 1 start on the Appalachian Trail. I sat and stared out the window and wondered what I had gotten myself into.

(It appears that my Cinestill developer had had too many rolls of film developed with it. Both this and the previous roll were significantly under-developed. Cinestill one-step developer has its advantages, but I plan to go back to my Kodak D76.)

Last of the set. The light was fading quickly.

About three weeks ago in Durand Eastman Park on a beautiful day. I parked by the start of the yellow ski trail, followed it all the way around then down the west side of Durand Lake and over the ridge to the start of the Eastman Lake trail. I followed it along the east side of Eastman Lake then back along the west side to return to the car in the deepening dusk.
