Photo Story

The first real outing of the year came after a long night in the ER with Logan. By Saturday morning, I was still drained, so I was surprised when Chase wanted to get outside. I wasn’t about to turn down the chance, so we packed up the dogs—Chloe and Larry—and headed to Potterskill Preserve.

The trails were damp from winter, but the sun was out, making everything feel fresh. The waterfalls were running strong, and the dogs were thrilled to be exploring. I snapped a few photos and videos—just enough to capture the feel of the place

Chase and I didn’t talk much, but that was fine. Sometimes, just being out there is enough. After a rough start to the weekend, a simple hike with my son and the dogs was exactly what I needed.
