(Apr 7) Went to visit my mother.

now in hadley
My mother’s new home

trees in the middle of trees
There’s a park across the street

but of course i did
Beyond the park, a trail. I’m probably not supposed to follow it.

a bit of something
The journey ended badly for a traveler before me

the hudson is everywhere
Then I ran into the Hudson

but hardly clean
It’s cleaner than the Gowanus Canal, at least.

moving power
There were a lot of these “utility pole trees”.

my great grandparents
My mother has some photos of long ago

it was the fourth of july
I was about 11 years old at the time.

(Sep 3) Ran back to Cordwood Landing Park to see what the camera could do in extremely low light.

darkness and poison ivy surround you
Don’t be fooled. By the time I took this photo, I couldn’t see anything through the viewfinder.

the path grows dim
I can’t remember for sure if I had a tripod or monopod, but I think I did use one.

and the forest comes alive
By the time I took this photo, I couldn’t see anything on the LCD screen either.
