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>.

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.
January 2, 2023: Delancey Partridge House, Seneca Falls, New York Dating to 1875, the stately Delancey Partridge House in Seneca Falls, New York is notable as a late-period example of Second Empire architecture, but even more so as what is generally agreed by cinema historians to be the inspiration for the "drafty old house" purchased and restored by George and Mary Bailey in the 1946 film <i>It's a Wonderful Life</i>.

December 8, 2022: "Welcome to Bedford Falls" sign, Seneca Falls, New York For the runup to the holiday season, the welcome sign along Routes 5 & 20 on the west end of downtown Seneca Falls, New York have been temporarily altered to read "Welcome to Bedford Falls". The village, which was visited by prominent film director Frank Capra in December 1945, is understood to be the inspiration behind the town of Bedford Falls as depicted in his film <i>It's a Wonderful Life</i>.
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.
