DNA replication, repair, genomic integrity, cancer, and aging at Drexel Univ. I fly fish a lot, but not really trying to catch fish. I drive a lot for my kids’ sports, but fish and hike locally. I like beer a lot, but I am a scientist and educator.

Taughannock Falls State Park, NY #WaterfallWednesday It was a rainy day. The weather was warm and humid. The trail to the falls was well maintained and felt like an unpaved road leading to a shrine ⛩️ 🙏 7/28/2026 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Creek #River #Waterfall #Photography

From an overlook high above the gorge, a tall, slender waterfall plunges from the upper forested valley beneath a bright, overcast sky. The water drops more than 200 feet over broad, nearly vertical cliffs before reaching a wide, flat basin below. A well-maintained trail, leading visitors to the base of the falls, is visible on the gorge floor.

Letchworth State Park, NY - Upper Falls #WaterfallWednesday I didn’t get a chance to fly fish, but it looks like there’s access to the Genesee River 🤔 Maybe next time😉 8/01/2026 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Creek #River #Waterfall #Photography

Under the partly sunny sky, river flowing in the valley plunged into the bottom of gorge flanked by the towering layers of gray stone bank on the both sides, with left banks covered by green. The plunged water spread out from the gorge bed and the murky swift water flows through the bottom. And a large red steel arch bridge spans the valley in the distance.

Watkins Glen State Park, NY #WaterfallWednesday A very popular place, even on a rainy day 🙄 It was hard to take photos without people, but it was still a great experience 😊 7/29/2026 #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Creek #River #Waterfall #Photography

A narrow, winding gorge lies between towering layers of gray stone topped with green foliage. A stone trail runs along the left side, leading to a small stone bridge. Beneath the bridge, a small stream flows through, becoming a thin waterfall that cascades into a pool below. Another waterfall plunges from the top of the left cliff, falling like a veil or a curtain beside the stone trail.

Taughannock Falls State Park, NY The gorge floor features expansive, smooth stretches of flat limestone bedrock, creating a unique landscape 😊 7/28/2026 #TuesdayVibes #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Creek #River #Photography

The flat gorge floor is the large area of limestone wet due to rain, between cliffs covered by trees and grass on a bright rainy day.

Buttermilk Falls State Park, NY Visited several New York State Parks. They were all busy, but this one felt less developed compared to other parks, which I enjoyed 😊 07/27/2026 #MondayMotivation #FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Hiking #Walking #Creek #River #Waterfall #Photography

A narrow gorge with water flowing over a rocky bed. The deeper pools appear light green, while the shallow water is clear enough to reveal the smooth rock below. Steep cliffs line both sides, showing many layers of gray stone. The tops of the cliffs are covered with bright green trees and grass.

As I was taking a picture of this beer, my daughter snatched my phone and took this shot instead, insisting it was much better. I think she was right 🤔🍺 Photo credit: Marina #Beer #Lager #Japan #Japanese #Restaurant #Photography

#TuesdayVibes A nice cluster of purslane thriving in a Philadelphia sidewalk tree pit 😮 There is also some crabgrass and toxic spurge mixed in 🙄 #Purslane #Spurge #Crabgrass #Weed #Philadelphia #Walking #Nature #Photography

A cluster of purslane with fleshy, succulent green leaves grows in a mulched tree pit cut into a concrete sidewalk. The square planting area is filled with mulch and mostly covered by purslane, though some crabgrass and toxic spurge are also visible among the plants.
