Dry creek bed, with log. Looking up the creek bed to where it is spanned by a fallen tree trunk. There were a few muddy puddles from the rain a few days before, but no flowing water, typical for dry August.

Green grandeur. A short hike in Letchworth. The trail was blocked and lost down in the flats but it was beautiful getting there. Yashica-D Harmon Phoenix 200 v2 Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner #harmanphoto, #phoenixfilm2 #harmanphoenix2 #letchworth, #letchworthstatepark, #forest,

Bagg Dare Winery at Three Brothers Wineries and Estates. This is Corky's and my favorite winery of the three. The colors in the photograph may emphasize the incandescent glow, but they are just right. It's that sort of place.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
