Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
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

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

I’d now been walking for around three and a half hours. My feet hurt, and my legs and back were aching. I sat down for a rest (one of many by this point in the walk) on a wall by the side of the road. While sitting there I noticed my shadow.
And I still had to walk for another 30 minutes or so before I would arrive home…

For a good part of this home stretch the road bordered on some wetland. I liked the way these grasses looked.

I emerged from Pocantico Lake Park onto Sleepy Hollow Road for the last leg of my walk home. After a few minutes of walking I came across two widely separated entrances, each flanked by stone gateposts bearing the above plaque. Obviously there was something impressive behind these entrances – maybe something of historical significance?
I recall reading something about Ichabod Farm, but I can’t remember what it was or where I found it. My attempts to find some new information have so far failed, other than discovering the site of the architect who did a fairly recent renovation: O’Brian Architecture. It has some interesting pictures.
