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 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>. If you're an architecture buff like me, you can read <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/198134987@N03/53516343458">more about the Partridge House</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.
