Summer is far and away my favorite season. Not even close. The other day I was walking across a field near the East Branch of the Neversink River. The air was cool and yet the sun was hot (that possible?). The breeze was giving me a slight shiver on my arms but the sun on the back of my neck felt warm and close. The combination was stunning. Perfect weather. Hotcha!
Below: that same perfect sun at 6 PM - leaving in cool shade pre-dinnertime gatherers on the stone deck just outside the Straus House sun porch, while that perfect sun warms the top of the building. And look at that sky!
