So fellow travelers, one day last week I had some time to enjoy a rare morning walk in the little Upstate NY village I live near. The trees have been a bit shy about changing into their autumn colors this year. September was so hot and dry it seems most leaves simply curled up and […]

False Moon
So fellow travelers, unusually warm weather has created some strange images in the mornings. Today for example I was greeted by rose-violet air. No, it was not the sky, but the air itself which glowed. Dawn had infused the thick fog hovering just above the ground with the color of sunrise. I watched the air around […]

Mountain Magic
So fellow travelers, I woke this morning to the booming echo of Big Black Dog woofs ricocheting through snow dusted trees.
