Daybreak in the Adirondacks after a pre-dawn hike to arrive at this vista for sunrise. 📷: 10.5.25 #Adirondacks #Nature #Foliage #Fall #ILoveNY #shotoniphone
Early morning light hits a sweeping vista of trees and mountains with a lake in the middle. The photo was taken in the Adirondacks in NY at peak foliage time on October 5th of this year.

Early moments from today’s #sunrise . 🌄
First light of dawn reflecting in the water of a reservoir. The hills to the left and cloud formations above almost make the colors and patterns look like an arrow pointing toward daybreak. Colors on the horizon are shades of yellow and orange.First light of dawn reflecting in the water of a reservoir.

Magical golden, misty moment from today’s sunrise. 💛
Golden sunlight is illuminating the mist rising from a waterfall at the Croton Reservoir.

Subtle wisps of clouds with hues of pink and blue-gray are reflected in the still water of a reservoir at dawn. The mood is calm.

Caught the sunrise this morning. #sunrise 🌄
Sunrise is captured at the Croton Reservoir. The water is tranquil and the patterns of color, light and clouds in the sky are reflected in the water below. Colors are gold, amber, and cream, and the clouds are in a feathery pattern.

Hoping this will eventually upload in a higher quality, but regardless, this was an amazing sight to see on my walk. I know we have many bald eagles nearby, but this was my first encounter. 🤩😍🦅💙 #Wildlife #Nature #BaldEagle #HudsonRiver #HudsonValley #Westchester

Some peace along the Hudson River the other night. #GoldenHour #NaturePhotography
Sun is beginning to set amid some lingering rain clouds. A vertical streak of sunlight is shimmering on the river which is seen with hills in the background on the opposite bank. A string of rocks slice diagonally through water toward the foreground toward the riverbank. They appear a stark black due to shadow. The rest of the image is made up of golds and gray-blue tinges as an effect of the golden hour.Sun is beginning to set amid some lingering rain clouds.

Happy to walk in support of my work home of the last ≈18yrs. Fundraising efforts are more important than ever as we face the risk of cuts to Medicaid, upon which so many of our patients rely in order to support their complex medical & rehabilitative care💙 givebutter.com/c/2025BAC5K/... #pediatrics

Happy National Puppy Day from Finnegan!💙 🐾 #NationalPuppyDay #DogsofBlueSky #RescueDog #AdoptDontShop
An ebulliently joyful boarder collie mix beams at the camera. His name is Finnegan, and he’s a rescue dog adopted in 2021. His fur is black with brownish red highlights on his ear floof, and he has a white chest (affectionately we call this his “ascot”) and little white toes. We love him.

View from my flight tonight. Moment of peace. 🌅 #Sunset #BirdsEyeView #IntheClouds #Flying #NewYork #Peace #Breathe #Nature
Sunset as seen from an airplane mid-flight. The sky is a mix of gold and rose hues, with a wide strip of color reflecting in the water below. There are a few bits of snow-covered land interspersed in the foreground, breaking up the beam of light into sections of color. The sun is largely hidden behind an opaque horizontal stretch of cloud that looks gray from the vantage point, so the presence of the sun is seen more from the reflection than in the sky itself.

White frothed waves of a churning river are rolling in against a backdrop of a fiery sunset amid the clouds. Tinges of the gold, amber, and pink hues are subtly reflected in the water.

Bird’s eye view of Lower Ausable Lake between mountain ranges from the overlook at Indian Head in the Adirondacks. Vibrant autumn foliage contrasting with evergreen trees flank both banks. The sky is blue with some passing white clouds, reflected in the water below and casting shadows on the mountains. A bit of the gray cliffside is shown in the foreground at the base of the image.

As a further introduction on #Bluesky, sometimes I draw. Have lost my creative spark of late, but it’s still there…somewhere… Hoping to be able to access it again. Would love to connect with other #artists and other creative dabblers on here. #art #artistsofbluesky #charcoal #graphite #portrait
Image is a charcoal portrait done of a woman’s face, her expression a bit pained as if in grief or tumult. The background is a deep black/shadow, with the light falling upon her features. Reference image was a still frame from the TV show “Happy” on SyFy. Drawn in April of 2019.

This photograph features tiers of sloping mountain peaks with the white bark of thin branches of a tree in the foreground to the bottom right of the image. Vibrant autumn foliage is interspersed with the dark green of the fir trees on the mountains beyond. In the distance, the final mountain appears as a dusky blue.

Amid the current national turmoil, I’ve been more aware than ever of just how much my rescue dogs rescue *me* on a daily basis. Does anyone else feel like their pets are helping them put one foot in front of the other right now? (Pictured: Skye 11.8.24) #Dogs #AdoptDontShop #DogsofBluesky #Love #Joy
My rescue dog Skye is pictured, eyes closed, smiling up at the sun and leaning into the head rubs I’m giving her. Skye is a husky mix with gray and white fur.
