Author: Steven Tryon
I am a photographer, walker, and sometime paddler, a theologically-educated geek living in Rochester, NY. Once upon a time I was an Army helicopter jockey in Alaska.
I started with film, switched to digital, then went back to classic film cameras.
With major back surgery in August 2019 and bunion repair in January 2020 now behind me, I am gearing up to start Appalachian Trail NOBO in June, 2021 to celebrate my seventy-first birthday. Blogging for The Trek.

Reaching tree
There is a lovely little extension to Durand Eastman park extending out along the road through the park to the main street on the east.
It has the most expressive trees.
Sunday evening we managed to get a bunch of us together for an outdoor communion service on the little rise behind the church.
