    Year in Review: 2021

    January 3, 2022 /
    Review of 2021 graphic. Highlights from this year Laura Jaen Art

    2021 was a year.  It’s always so interesting looking back over the year.  The year didn’t go nearly as I had planned, but it definitely had its ups (and its downs).  Taking the time to review what happened – what worked and didn’t, what I’d like to carry forward into…

    Year in Review: 2020

    January 1, 2021 /
    Collage of photos of 2020 accomplishments

    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…

    Review of 2019 graphic. Photos of highlights from the year.

    The closing of a year gives us the opportunity to remember and reflect on the last 365 days. What seemed like a trying and challenging year, was filled with so many amazing opportunities and areas of growth.  Enjoy this video that I put together reviewing this past year! New Art…

    Waterfall Wednesday: Unnamed Falls

    July 3, 2019 /
    Unnamed Falls Buttermilk Falls Waterfall Wednesday blog cover

    This week we go to an unnamed waterfall in Buttermilk Falls State Park that almost wasn’t part of my 50 New York Waterfalls project.  I was conflicted about including an unnamed waterfall in the project when all the other waterfalls were main features with their own names.  Ultimately decided this…

    Waterfall Wednesday: Sweedler Preserve

    Sweedler Nature Preserve waterfall wednesday blog cover

    If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you may remember me previously mentioning Sweedler Preserve and my little mishap with reading the map (reread here).  I’ve been reading up on the waterfall and the trails in this preserve and there are many young, experienced hikers that have commented on…

    Waterfall Wednesday: Rainbow Falls

    June 19, 2019 /
    Rainbow Falls Waterfall Wednesday blog cover

    “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

    June 12, 2019 /
    Triphammer Upper Falls Waterfall Wednesday blog cover

    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…

    Upper Falls Letchworth State Park Waterfall Wednesday blog cover

    Today we’re back in Letchworth State Park for the last time to talk about the third main waterfall of this park – Upper Falls.  There’s a lot of interesting bits of rail history that go along with this section of the park and it was so fun learning about it…
