A bicycle sits outside of a shop called "Hoppie's Dining Room" with an ice cream as logo

A wooden bridge spans over a creek that reflects the color of a blue sky, with sunlight casting shadows and light throughout the interior of the bridge

A mossy path passes through a collection of pine trees on the walk through the land near W. E. B. Du Bois's boyhood home.

A sign reads "Grass Roots Democracy" and includes a collection of photos from the life of W. E. B. Du Bois, to a backdrop of pine trees.

Last week, I rode out to the Hudson River and stopped by the boyhood home of W. E. B. Du Bois in Great Barrington MA.

It was a beautifully-peaceful place, and I'm so glad I took the time to pause and reflect.

Listening to birds, feeling the breeze, and noticing small details around you naturally build mindfulness. Nature invites you to be present without trying too hard. 🍃🕊️ #MindfulLiving #StayPresent #OutdoorMoments

A massive flow of water rushes down Taughannock Falls in New York State, surrounded by ice and fog, in a photo taken several hundred feet above the creek below the waterfall.

A gravel path with bare trees in winter stretches out in front of the handlebars of a bicycle as it speeds along the path in the rain.

On the best days, the chance to be out in nature and reflect has been an opportunity to experience the transcendent. That was true today when I finally got outside after the air pollution finally cleared after ten days.

Spent the ride thinking about William […]

After brief hopes of going on a ride, the fog and air pollution in Ithaca returned to the thick levels that have made it nearly impossible for me to safely venture out for over a week.

So it’s back to indoor training for me, sigh. #outdoormoments.

A bright sun rises over the horizon, its orange glow reflecting and casting shadows on a snowbank beside some trees.

Morning glory

Continental soldier on a chocobo skeleton

Frozen taughannock falls in December

In what I can only imagine is an homage to Ken Burns’s documentary on the American Revolution, neighbors have put up a sculpture of a continental army officer… on a chocobo skeleton

Thanks Harriet for your legacy.

A copse of trees shelters farm equipment on a blue sunset sky

The setting sun reflects in gold off a farm pond under a blue sky

The sun sets over golden grain at sunset

A solitary cow looks at the creek lined with trees against a green hill and sunset view

Grateful for the chance to ponder safety questions from the relative security of an autumn evening in central New York countryside.

Mist rises from the road at sunrise along the Iowa bluffs that line the Missouri River basin

Sunrise over the Missouri River, with a splash of pink lining a band of gray clouds

Rode today from Nebraska City to Omaha, to catch up with @ethanz for lunch. Crossing the Missouri at sunrise & traveling gravel farm roads was magical.

I also visited the grave of Amelia Bloomer, 19th century designer & activist. Bloomer realized that the work […]
