Paul SwiatkowskiThis is Pluto falls in Watkins Glen State Park. For me, I find this one beautiful in its simplicity. Then again though, anything in Watkins Glen is beautiful. <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/waterfall?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#waterfall</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/watkinsglen?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#watkinsglen</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NY?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NY</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/outdoors?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#outdoors</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Nikon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nikon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/takeahike?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#takeahike</a>
Paul SwiatkowskiSo I've been seeing this <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/monochromemonday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#monochromemonday</a> stuff and I thought, why not. Here's a shot of cavern cascade at Watkins Glen State Park. This one is from the tunnel, giving you a better look at the path behind the falls. <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/waterfall?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#waterfall</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/b?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#b</a>&amp;w <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/watkinsglen?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#watkinsglen</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NY?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NY</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/outdoors?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#outdoors</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Nikon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nikon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/takeahike?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#takeahike</a>
Paul SwiatkowskiThis is Cavern Cascade in Watkins Glen State Park. Standing at 52 feet tall, this is the tallest waterfall in the Glen. This is a fun part of the trail as you get to walk directly behind this waterfall. On a hot day, it is definitely refreshing to pass through here.<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/waterfall?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#waterfall</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NY?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NY</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Watkinsglen?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Watkinsglen</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/outdoors?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#outdoors</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Nikon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nikon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/D750?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#D750</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/takeahike?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#takeahike</a>
Marilee Rockley<p>Something actually good to look forward to: I’ll be teaching at the Finger Lakes 25th Tatting Conference April 4-6, 2025.

OtterForce<p>I believe this is the last of the summer camping <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/fungi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fungi</span></a> photos I&#39;ll be sharing this year. According to <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/iNaturalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>iNaturalist</span></a>, these funky dudes are coral fungi. It&#39;s a fun look—kind of the opposite of Lion&#39;s Mane. I&#39;d never seen them before!</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Mushtodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mushtodon</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WatkinsGlen" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WatkinsGlen</span></a></p>
OtterForce<p>Now that the plague has finished sweeping through the house and my back has stopped reminding me that I&#39;m no longer a teen, I had some time to sit down and process more photos from the summer camping trip. These all feature <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>water</span></a> as a focus. </p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Waterfall" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Waterfall</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Mosstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mosstodon</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WatkinsGlen" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WatkinsGlen</span></a></p>
OtterForce<p>More Watkins Glen, but with a bit more variety in subjects. Loving the light in these.

OtterForce<p>I&#39;m back on my mushroom kick again. This is the same set of photos from the upper rim trail at Watkins Glen State Park.

OtterForce<p>After two weeks of socializing at the end of summer madness, life is finally calming down.

OtterForce<p>We&#39;re back safely from our camping trip. I&#39;m filtering through my pictures from the weekend. I had to stop and share this one.

It might be a bit soggy at a few points, but hopefully, that will be minimal! </p><p>Hoping to hang out around turn 10 and watch the action on the screen a bit.

Cruising into another webinar weekend. was finalizing edits on a longer video and working with two more newsletters. Trying to get a little ahead of the curve because next week, we’re heading to for the race weekend and it’ll be a short work week.

Family time today will include some again. Almost have all the base game achievements.

Health time is . Beautiful evening. Cool but not cold. Rained all day, so everything is shiny. Good walking time.

As much as I love my and the top-tier series, some of these single make cups are fantastic and exciting in completely different ways. Less budget and hardware dependent, more wheel-to-wheel driver-focused racing.

The is one of my favorites already and one I’m looking forward to seeing at in a month.

Catching up on races this weekend. The new looks just as good. Great time to be a sports car racing fan.
