4 Favorite Waterfalls to Visit in Winter
If you’re in the northern part of the country, cold weather is likely here for a couple more months. I generally like to hibernate inside for most of the winter and dream of warmer days, however sometimes it’s nice to get out of the house and experience a change of…

Year in Review: 2020
What a year. I’m not sure if anyone had the year they thought they would when 2020 started. I know I definitely didn’t. So many events I was looking forward to were cancelled and many that continued on were mostly spent unseen during the initial shutdown because of COVID-19 and…

A Trip to Seneca Falls (Updated)
My plans for the evening got derailed, so I’m switching gears for today’s blog post. I’m re-sharing my adventure finding the Ludovico Sculpture Trail a couple years ago and then I’ve added the painting that was inspired by the trip at the end. Enjoy! This weekend I went for a…

Waterfall Wednesday: Rainbow Falls
“In one place in the island of Hawaii, we saw a laced and ruffled cataract of limpid water leaping from a sheer precipice fifteen hundred feet high; but that sort of scenery finds its stanchest ally in the arithmetic rather than in spectacular effect. If one desires to be so…

Waterfall Wednesday: Upper Triphammer Falls
I haven’t quite pinned down why this waterfall is one of my favorites. Maybe it’s because it falls at angular steps. Maybe it’s because it’s in such an urban setting. Maybe it’s because it satisfies some need to find out where things start. Maybe it’s the beautiful lake and waterlilies…
