Signs of our Times

God willing, after close to two years of buying, selling and renting, we are done with real estate.  I want to be done with house signs.  In Highland Falls, we had a  sign "Whispering Waters" named for the falls which ran in back of that 1860 house.  The waters weren't so whispering after Hurricane Floyd turned our dirt cellar into a swimming pool.  Neither were the winds so whispering at "Whispering Winds" in Cornwall when they knocked a forty foot oak onto our house. 

We are hoping that the waves in Vero and the woods in Pawling remain whispering throughout our time here.

Back in 2010, we blogged this picture when our young neighbor cried out "we've got nature" after spotting a snake eating a frog

Another case of life imitating art.  Score one for Oscar Wilde.

Cindy was finishing the last post at the same time I spotted a gorgeous sunset.

But mostly, the photographer all of us are falling in love with the newest member of the Cervini fam, namely Asher Wendall Tompkins born at 3:24 am on Saturday, October 17.

IN THE PINK

Vero Beach, FL- March, 2015

Newburgh, NY- September, 2015

Always in the pink when taking photographs or dining on the waterfront...

Birds gotta fly and finding a new nest...

Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY- June 2015

This summer has been full of changes.  Kerry found himself some new digs about ten minutes away from Brooklyn College.  After selling the dairybarn on the mountain and temporarily settling into a home in the village last fall

Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY- October 2014

we started the hunt for a new nest...

Springing Ahead After Falling Behind 

Lennon, Harrison and McCarthy wrote "it's been a long, cold, lonely winter", and so it has.  Now the photographers (note the plural) have been busting out and here are some of the results..

The last photograph thanks to Kerry, finishing senior year in high school with a digital photography class.

Right off the Highway

Interstate 95 to be exact, it's just that the shots are three months and 1500 miles apart.

TWO STUDIES IN STUDIOUS WILDLIFE

It has been a while for me, my camera and my blog.  I was busy trading new digs for old digs.  Some new photos from the new digs, just this morning in fact.  The pictures of Bentley on the dock overlooking "The Fingers" at Vero Beach must be credited to Kelsey.

                                         

Falling 

          Into

P L A C E 

Selling, buying, moving doesn't leave much time for photographing or blogging but the Photographer managed to come up with some autumnal shots around town.  As soon as he gets pics of the new digs we'll be sure to post.

I capture images, photographs capture time

A little play with some time elapsed images.  This afternoon I photographed our resident rabbit on the mountain.  A week ago Cindy photographed me in the first moments I saw my oldest in her wedding gown.
