May 6, 2023: Junius Ponds as seen from just off Route 318, Junius, New York A view of one the Junius Ponds, as seen on a spring afternoon from just off State Route 318 in the town of Junius, New York. Long used as a source of drinking water for the nearby village of Lyons, this series of mecromotic glacial ponds is today maintained by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation as a habitat for a wide variety of rare flora and fauna, including one of the last remaining Upstate New York populations of the critically endangered bog turtle <i>(Glyptemys muhlenbergii)</i>.
March 28, 2023: Seneca Lake shoreline from Lakefront Park, Geneva, New York Looking eastward along the northern shore of Seneca Lake from Lakefront Park in Geneva, New York on a beautiful early spring day.
February 18, 2023: New York State seal and mottos on interior of window, Finger Lakes Welcome Center, Geneva, New York At the Finger Lakes Welcome Center in Geneva, New York, a large window in the main hall is decorated with the New York state seal and the state's and country's official mottos.
January 17, 2023: A Gaggle of Geese at Keuka Lake, Penn Yan, New York A gaggle of Canada geese <i>(Branta canadensis)</i> hover over, and float in, the frigid waters of Keuka Lake as seen from the lawn behind the Hampton Inn on a gray, drizzly winter morning.
Delancey Partridge House, Seneca Falls, New York, January 2023 The Delancey Partridge House, 54 Cayuga Street, Seneca Falls, New York, January 2023. Built in 1875, this stately two-and-a-half-story mansion is a contributing property to the NRHP-listed Seneca Falls Village Historic District and is significant as a late-period and somewhat atypical example of Second Empire architecture: the stark color contrast between the red brick and the light-colored stone trim, the narrow round- and segmentally-arched windows with dressed stone voussoirs, the tall central tower, and of course the straight-sided, slate shingle-faced mansard roof are all trademark features of the style, while the irregular massing and Eastlake-inspired woodwork on the veranda are far more unusual. Its original owner was Delancey Erastus Partridge (1844-1879), a noted local financier who was the founding president of the State Bank of Seneca Falls. He built the house as a wedding gift to his wife Marian <i>née</i> Morris, importing brickmasons from Canada to construct the exterior while furnishing the interior with numerous items he purchased during his extensive travels through Europe, but sadly died only a few years after the house was completed. It remained in the hands of his widow until her death in 1926. The Partridge House is generally agreed by cinema historians to be the inspiration for the "drafty old house" that George and Mary Bailey bought and restored in the 1946 film <i>It's a Wonderful Life</i>, and its later history closely echoes the storyline of the movie: it was likely in a similarly dilapidated condition when director Frank Capra visited Seneca Falls in December 1945, but has been thoroughly and magnificently restored by its present owners since their purchase of the property in 1997.
September 17, 2022: Van Cleef Lake, Seneca Falls, New York A view eastward over Van Cleef Lake from the foot of Fall Street in Seneca Falls, New York. This 44-acre man-made lake dates to August 1915, when a low-lying district known as The Flats - home of a teeming collection of industrial works as well as the 50-foot cascade that gave the town its name - was intentionally flooded so as to create a reservoir that would feed water into Lock 2 of the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, which was being enlarged and modernized for incorporation as a link in the New York State Barge Canal network. Today the lake is known locally as a fishing spot, where largemouth bass, bluegill, and black crappie are among the popular catches. The lock itself is seen in the background, as well as a tall water tower on the premises of the former Rumsey Pump Company manufacturing plant (now owned by Seneca Falls Specialties & Logistics).
August 6, 2022: St. Patrick R.C. Church, Seneca Falls, New York Unusually among Catholic churches, St. Patrick's in Seneca Falls, New York has a floor plan that's laid out on a north-south axis: reportedly, the intent of architect Joseph B. Flynn was to allow a frontal view of the façade from across the Cayuga-Seneca Canal. If you're an architecture buff like me, you can read <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/198134987@N03/53486272374">more about St. Patrick's</a> at <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/198134987@N03/">Western New York Architecture Deep Cuts</a>, my other account where I go deeper into the weeds about these sorts of things.
