A light snowfall brought 2.8" (7.1 cm) of snow on the Winter Solstice (Larchmont, New York)--December 21, 2024. Despite that snowfall and another 1.0" (2.5 cm) snowfall on Christmas Eve, New York City is on track to record its lowest two-year snowfall on record. To all, have a wonderful Christmas and Hanukkah.

Withered tulip at the New York Botanical Garden (Bronx, New York)—May 3, 2025. Occasionally one comes across something unforgettable in nature. This aged tulip really stood out among the almost countless tulips for what it seemed to represent. It stood as a symbol of enduring grace. Set against the silent background I created through a blend of processing, the solitary flower is a quiet requiem for transience, where every fold of the petal holds a whispered memory. It offers a vivid reminder that nature is beautiful even in its final gestures.
