“Photographs open doors into the past, but they also allow a look into the future.” — Sally Mann

As I get back to work, I am putting some photos together from the first week of my vacation. I did not sit down every day and write about the photo. I will be setting time aside next week to do so.

Sunday, 07/06/2025: Posted photo — Framed.

Mount Rainier from the plane as I was going back home.

Monday, 07/07/2025: Posted photo — Trail Sign.

One of the trail signs in Buttermilk Falls State Park, Ithaca NY. This was on the Gorge Trail in the park.

Tuesday, 07/08/2025: Posted photo — Buttermilk Falls.

Buttermilk Falls, Ithica NY. We would like to go back when the falls are flowing faster.

Wednesday, 07/09/2025: Posted photo — Clematis.

Clematis growing at my sister-in-law’s house in Columbus OH.

Thursday, 07/10/2025: Posted photo — Gateway Arch.

This was not the first time I was at Gateway Arch. I was there a few years ago. It looked like the entrance to the Arch was moved from the first time I was there. I had more time today to explore the Arch and the area. I did not go into the Arch again.

Friday, 07/11/2025: Post photo — Busch Stadium.

I was looking forward to going to Busch Stadium. This is the site that the Red Sox broke the curse in 2004. Not the same stadium. This one was built in 2006. The ushers were asking us if we were rubbing in the World Series victory since we had Red Sox shirts on. They were just joking with us.

Saturday, 07/12/2025: Post photo — Bridal Veil Falls.

Bridal Veil Falls in Telluride CO. I passed these falls as I was going to the Via Ferrata trailhead. I did not do the entire Via Ferrata. I did the part where there was ground under my feet. I turned around before doing the section that was along the cliff face with only steel rungs to put your feet.

That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.
