We took a little road trip last week, crossing two state lines to spend the day at Chautauqua Institute in the southwestern corner of New York state. We enjoyed the beautiful sunny summer day with Joe and Ann, Bob’s brother and sister-in-law, and our neighbor Marti. If you’ve been to Chautauqua, you know what I am speaking of when I describe the day as time spent in Brigadoon. If you have never been there, I recommend setting aside a day or two of your summer vacation to see it for yourself if you should find yourself near this beautiful countryside. It’s a wonderful way to relax.
Here are a few pictures to share the beauty of Chautauqua. (Thanks to our granddaughter Carrie for her patient instructions on how to get the photos from my iPhone into Lightroom, so I could process and post them here. This is the first full set of iPhone images I have ever posted). I’m truly amazed!

Thanks, Helen. First set of photos I took with the phone. I was amazed. Chautauqua is a favorite place for a photoshoot. Such a variety: people, beautiful architecture, a lovely lake, and more.

Very picturesque. That’s easier than carrying all your camera gear around. I don’t have a smartphone but I know many use them instead of digital compacts for all their picture-taking needs.

Thanks, Linda. Definitely much easier to carry, and it worked well for that little road trip.

Looks like a beauty of a place. And, yes, the quality of phone photos is, in a word, amazing.
