Honey Hill Preserve
Honey Hill's wolf tree was a commanding presence on this winter walk. Thanks to the Preserve Brochure I saw this tree in an earlier time, keeping watch as a lone sentinel over a sleeping field.

Ely’s Ferry
A chance encounter with this very brave couple breaking the ice drifts to cold plunge together. The sky was so unbelievable I drove down to enjoy the sunset and happened upon them.

Seventh Sister Hill
The eccentric William Gillette, among his many idiosyncracies, in 1914 constructed for himself a mansion, styled to a confused marriage between Belle Époque sensibilities and Transylvanian macabre. As is by now well known, he employed various architectural oddities, with hidden passages, elaborate door locks, and a 3 mile long rail track.
