An Update From The Leaf Watch Desk In The Woods Of The James Cave Instagram Feed

Coming to you from the Leaf Watch Desk in the Woods of the James Cave Instagram Feed to officially kick off this year's Leaf Watch series! Every year, at around this time, I travel into the woods to give you breathless coverage of one of the biggest seasons for the Hudson Valley: Leaf Peeping Season. And we look at the changing of the leaves through the experience of a single leaf, our Leaf Watch Leaf. To vote for this year's leaf, become a Friend and cast your vote. I'll announce this year's Leaf on Sept. 14. Along the way, we'll hear woodland-related stories, such as how artists Zoe Keller and Zaneta are working to save Zena Woods, and we'll spend time with Julia Whitney Barnes, who frequently travels into the woods to collect specimens for her cyanotypes. It's all coming soon to The Jiffy, a podcast and newsletter about the arts and sciences of upstate New York. Subscribe to the newsletter here: www.thejiffy.xyz/subscribe
