January 2019
Located off of Marco Island, Florida, I'm pretty sure this home has since fully submerged under the ocean. It was cool to have a chance to see it before that happened.

Path through woods in fall at the upper lake on Mount Holyoke College campus

Whenever weather allowed, I would run around upper lake on the Mount Holyoke College campus. This photo accurately shows you the views I was able to have on my runs.

I went for a lot of runs and walks around upper lake on the Mount Holyoke College campus when I went to school there. This is a photo I took one fall, that I think encaptulates a New England fall pretty well.

End of the sunset behind trees

November 2019
My senior year at Mount Holyoke College was a year in which I had been experimenting more with trying to get photos in low-light. I was taking photos of the moon and sunsets and this is the tail end of a sunset that I photographed with no flash.

I took this photo from the inside of my dorm room in my junior year at Mount Holyoke College. The squirrel was on the tree right outside of my window.

some kind of rodent swimming in water

March 2019
This photo was taken at the lower lake on the Mount Holyoke College campus. I'm not sure what kind of animal this is but I'm fairly certain it's a type of rodent. It was swimming towards beneath the bridge that crosses the lake.
