I came across this statue of a Native American Chief in my friend’s garden and thought it might make a nice black and white photograph.

A Native American Chief
Croton Aqueduct in Art
In an earlier post I mentioned Cornela Cotton and her book store/gallery (See: Cornelia). I also mentioned that she was going to give a presentation organized by the Briarcliff Manor-Scarborough Historical Society on “The Croton Aqueduct in Art”.
She gave the presentation to an almost full house at Briarcliff Manor’s Vescio Community Center. It was very well received.
Note that I don’t have a copy of her presentation, or the exact images she used so the pictures below, although similar are for illustrative purposes only.
For a really good overview of images of the Old Croton Aqueduct see The Project Gutenberg eBook of Illustrations of the Croton Aqueduct, by F. B. Tower.

A pair of geese
No comment. My non-ending search for some birds to photograph continues with the inevitable Canada Geese. At least these two were kind enough to look in my direction.

Magnolia
My magnolia tree is in bloom. We planted this tree a long time ago. At the time it was tiny. For years it was very ‘straggly’. I was pleased to see this year that it’s filled out a lot

A downed tree
I liked the textures and gnarly roots and thought it would make an interesting black and white image.
