Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
Rocks, plants and grasses alongside the Hudson River. The last picture is rather different from the others. It was taken inside the elevator at Scarborough Station.

I don’t know much about identifying fungi, but after some research I think it’s called a “Violet-toothed Polypore” or maybe it’s a “Turkey Tail” (I did say that my fungus identification skills were somewhat lacking)? If it’s the former the “violet” edge apparently fades with age, so I guess this must be an old one as I can’t see a trace of violet.
Nice looking fungus though – whatever it is.

First we had Three Kings. Then we had Three Sticks. And now, to complete our trio of triplets: Three Pine Cones.
I just liked the way they looked against the green, conifer background.

This pond was once the outdoor pool of a grand resort hotel in Briarcliff Manor, NY – the village where I live. It was called the Briarcliff Lodge and it was built by Walter W. Law, the founder of Briarcliff Manor.
To get a feel for what it must have been like to have been staying there during its heyday in the 1920s take a look at this short (around three minute) video: A Video Tour of the Briarcliff Lodge.
