Still loving the new camera. Here’s one from my first spring hike last weekend.

Easter Hike

Posted in Uncategorized tagged , , , , , at 8:27 pm by chavisory

One of my emerging personal traditions is to take a hike by myself somewhere for Easter, since I don’t live near family, and usually most of my nearby friends are either working or with families of their own for the day. Here are some snapshots from my hike in the Rockefeller State Park Preserve this year (as well as through nearby Tarrytown)!

A green sloping hillside with a view of still mostly bare brown trees against a blue sky, with some little white clouds scattered above.
View from high up (the summit of Eagle Hill) looking south and east over hillsides of bare trees, with the coastline of New Jersey across the Hudson River in the background.
A lost dark turquoise hat perched on a tree stump in case someone comes back for it.
There’s a small art gallery near the main entrance of the park; this is a large charcoal drawing of a magnolia, by artist Anne Bell.
Old Royal typewriter in the window of a local bookshop. The type on the paper loaded in it is a haiku poem: “the temple bell stops/but the sound keeps coming/out of the flowers –Matsuo Basho

A friend said a couple days ago that my pictures from New York all make it seem like a blend of beauty and sci-fi apocalypse, and I have to say that’s a pretty accurate distillation of the mood these days. This is another one from my evening walk around the ballfields a few nights ago. West Side skyline, one lamppost, retreating storm clouds.

Little altar

IMG_0877In order to maintain some kind of routine and sense of time while we’re all isolated and out of work, and also get outside at least a little bit as safely as possible, I’m trying to go for a walk in the park both early in the morning and late in the evening every day. I failed this morning and slept late. But last night I went out and found this whimsical shrine to I don’t know who or what.

I’m hoping to be able to get some new writing done sooner rather than later. In the meantime, this was my dinner break stroll last weekend–to the remains of the Central Railroad’s 69th St. Transfer Bridge on the Hudson River.
