Brick building with a domed observatory under a mostly blue sky.

The National & The War On Drugs

September 27, 2024Concerts, MusicJonathan

Purple and blue lights stream from a stage where a band is performing at night. Video screens on either side of the stage show the lead singer. A 12 story apartment building can be seen in the background.

I’ve been fortunate to see some great concerts this summer. Last night I caught the dual headlining show featuring The National and The War On Drugs, which was held at Breese Stevens Field. I’ve been very fond of these two groups for quite a while now, and seeing them both live for the first time did not disappoint.

Autumn is fast approaching

September 19, 2024Autumn, TreesJonathan

A tree with orange leaves stands next to a hiking trail. Green oak leaf branches frame the top of the photo and trees with green leaves are on one side and in the foreground.

Despite the mid-summer like temperatures we’ve been experiencing, autumn is on its way.

Reaching for the sky

September 17, 2024Prairie, SkyJonathan

Tall chutes of prairie grass bending in the wind. In the background is a blue sky with a few wispy clouds.

September, when the prairie grass is practically sky high.

September 15, 2024Close Up, FlowersJonathan

Close up of several clusters of white, star shaped blossoms in front of a shadowy green background.

I’ve seen a lot of these tiny beauties while walking the woods lately.
