Alfred, New York

How can a very small community in rural Allegany County in Western New York have such an extensive cultural powerhouse? Alfred, located in such a rural area within range of Wellsville (largest community) and Belmont (county seat), is capable of captivating nontraditional lived experiences and even lived experiences in counter cultural movements because of historical contexts of the Burned-over District as well as the modern context in which the Alfred State branch of SUNY coincides with […]

Popped out to grab a few things for dinner prep tonight between work tasks. The #sky is putting on show for us today in the #SouthernTier.

A black and white street scene captures a small town’s main thoroughfare under a dramatic sky of billowing cumulus clouds. The wide street stretches into the distance, flanked by parked cars along both sides and marked by painted lane dividers down the center. On the right, a large commercial building dominates the frame with bold lettering spelling “FOOD MART” across its corrugated metal facade, while smaller storefronts with awnings extend beyond it. A church steeple with a distinctive cupola rises in the middle distance, its dark silhouette contrasting against the bright sky. Mature trees line the street, their full canopies creating pools of shadow that dapple the pavement. Power lines stretch across the frame, adding geometric elements to the organic shapes of clouds and foliage. The lighting appears natural and diffused, creating strong tonal contrasts between the bright sky, shadowed storefronts, and sun-dappled asphalt that give the scene depth and visual weight.

A graphic with a vibrant green gradient background, lighter at the top and darker at the bottom. In the upper left, a person wearing sunglasses and a patterned head covering stands in bright sunlight, holding a large, handmade white sign. The sign has a hand-painted border of red, pointed triangles. In each of the four corners is an illustration of a slice of watermelon. The text on the sign is written in black paint.

Back on that macro flower thing. Again, not sure of the flower. These are the "Tiny white flowers next to the house."

I think I nailed the focus on this one.

Macro photograph of delicate white blossoms: papery white petals surround pale yellow–green centers bristling with slender stamens capped in warm brown pollen. Sunlight from the upper left skims the flowers, carving gentle highlights and shadows that reveal fine crinkles and ripples in the petals. Clusters of smooth, closed buds nestle among the open blooms, their round forms contrasting with the intricate interiors. The background recedes into a soft, deep-green blur, making the foreground petals appear luminous and almost three-dimensional.

Apropos of nothing, here is an adorable #spider we saw when setting up a tent yesterday. She was very pretty and so fast! A smaller spider (or something) came down the tent and was eaten instantly.

I plan to look her up soon, but if any #arachnid or #entomology people tell me who she is before I do that, I certainly won't mind.

Btw: northeast USA, near Buffalo, NY.

#WhatIsThisBug #whatsthisbug #wny #nystate

Listen, masto web app or possibly tokodon, I wrote a lovely description of this spider a few hours ago and now it's just gone? Anyway, she is a beautiful black and white jumping spider. Don't delete this alt text, too, ya knob.

Going through my #photos. Here's the interior of my local post office. Built in 1931, it features ornate #woodworking, carved murals, elaborate stonework, intricate brass work... all not because it was profitable but because it was amazingly possible at all. #Architecture #ClassicalRevival #WNY

Ornate wooden teller windows labeled Registry and C.D. in an old, grand building with marble columns and detailed engravings above the windows. Light streams in from the left, highlighting the architectural details.Close-up of an ornate, bronze or brass furniture leg carved in the shape of a lion’s head and mane. The lion's features are detailed with a polished finish. In the background, tiled flooring and metal legs are visible.Rows of vintage brass post office boxes, viewed at an angle. Some boxes display visible numbers, such as 124 and 144. The boxes have ornate designs and decorative locks, filling the entire frame.
