Foggy springtime mornings in the village. Feels good to finally break the mental barrier to post again. ☀️🌇

This past weekend, the sunrise lifted slowly, as the warmth of spring made itself felt. Simple mornings like this are hard to beat.

When the leaves disappear, fall memories hold on 🍁🍂
As winter settles in, I’m drawn back to those vibrant autumn mornings—fog lifting off Heart Lake, dramatic clouds over the McIntyre Range, and peak foliage finally captured after years of chasing. These moments make me feel most alive.

Thank you for the feature! Rochester

Caught some real magic in the Finger Lakes this morning. 🌈🍁

A rainbow over Ontario County Park and the fall colors finally popping—doesn’t get better than this. 🍂

This is what PEAK fall looks like… ⛰️🍁

Autumn Adirondack moments like this, captured Saturday morning at Heart Lake as the fog lifted and clouds danced around Colden, Algonquin, Wright, and Iroquois. The kind of day that makes you feel giddy just to be there — these are the autumn days we need to make the most of. 🏔️

Peak Week magic is happening right now on Mt. Van Hoevenberg in Lake Placid ⛰️✨🍂

Colors vary dramatically across the area — expect lots more yellows and oranges on the slopes in the coming days! A lot more yellows and oranges are already showing outside of the ski trails.
