August 2025: Singing Into the Sun

August was a pretty good month, at least in my little world. Lots of ice cream was consumed. The weather changed from hot and humid to cooler and autumnal, and it was very nice. Tomatoes & cucumbers are at their abundant peak. People went back to school. Every Friday I make myself a pot of chilled zucchini soup and eat it for lunch with a single homemade English muffin, split-toasted-and-buttered. Here are a few photos from August.

 

American Lotus Extravaganza

I found these while kayaking around on the West River in Brattleboro. They seem to be Nelumbo lutea and they are completely magical. 




 

Mountaintop Reclaimed

In 2020 I sprained my ankle running down a local mountain, and had not been back on that trail since. Until August 2025! I went on a redemption run on the very same trail. Along the way I took some photos of woodland textures as well as a mostly dried-up stream that is usually running.

 





 
 

Parting Shot: NYC in the Morning

At the end of August I went on a little solo road trip that found me driving north past NYC at 7am. I took this awkward photo through the passenger-side as I drove home to the sounds of the new Wet Leg album, Moisturizer.
