Bash Bish Falls, Massachusetts

October is a wonderful time of year to visit the Bash Bish Falls. Park at the Copake Iron Works (in New York State) and look for the sign for the “Trail to Bash Bish Falls."

Lower Race Brook Falls, Massachusetts

Lower Race Brook Falls in August 2012 I’ve mentioned before that I don’t always remember specific waterfalls. I should probably write about the waterfalls immediately after visiting the falls, but sometimes that would mean writing about many waterfalls at once. I also like to write about different falls from different states and countries to give a bit of flavor. A few of the waterfalls in New…

New England Photography of Historic Landmarks and Natural Wonders

Photography of New England’s historic landmarks and natural wonders is my calling. I love chasing the light throughout my home state of Massachusetts, and also in the neighboring states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut. I find endless creative inspiration and beauty here. New England is renowned for its stunning fall foliage and autumn colors. During the fall…

Fortune in misfortune

AN: You'll get part 2 on 17th, bish (affectionate). Thank you for supporting me at my lowest. I love you.

It was a moment of peace.

Your partner and you enjoyed a rare warm autumn’s day, you sitting on the edge of the engawa and him laying down in your lap, his face turned to your tummy, letting the banner of dark hair hang over your knees. Light breeze gently swayed the tresses, tempting your hands to bury themselves into them instead of cradling your lover’s head.

Neither of you spoke as you soaked the comfort of each other’s presence. 

The next time wind swept by, sun rays caught and scattered over the lighter shade of Yoriichi’s hair and the allure proved too great to resist. You couldn’t hold back any longer and you deftly untied the cord keeping his hair in a ponytail, letting it fall loose. If possible, Yoriichi seemed to relax even more as if the last bit of tension was released along with his hair. 

“Your hair is so smooth… so beautiful,” you whispered as your fingers played with the dark fire gently. It was like handling live silk. You knew he didn’t do anything special with his hair, using the same soap and oils as you, yet it was much better quality than yours. It made you feel a little jealous of him, though that side was always placated by him.

Yoriichi hummed, pressing even closer to your stomach, nosing at the loose fabric and breathing in the scent of freshly washed laundry mixed with something uniquely you.

Your hands restless, you picked up a bit of his hair and started to braid it loosely, trying not to disturb his rest.

You always did this, he found, offering him respite and comfort, offering him a place to lay his head upon and relax. Your hands, slightly callused from labor and your past, protected him from his demons, should he dare say it. 

Yoriichi had had so much misfortune happen to him, the losses of his past haunting him. He had much to mourn, many to grieve, but he could hardly lament meeting you. 

Yoriichi felt alive when he breathed you in, when he reveled in your embrace. At times, he did think of his first wife, and child, but he couldn’t bring himself to regret falling for you.

Yes, it was true.

He had fallen in love with you.

You were the fortune in misfortune. He felt lucky when he was with you. 

He opened his eyes slowly, looking up at you. Your eyes were focused on his hair as you played with it, calm yet bright; he felt he always discovered something new in them when he looked at you.

“Your eyes…” he murmured, bringing your attention to him. “Your eyes are like maps of old… I feel I could get lost in them if I’m not careful.”

His compliment prompted your cheeks to grow hot under his gaze. You felt the need to make him blush. “You’re like the sun then, because you bring me warmth and light up my world.”

A smile spread across his lips, yet no pink could be seen on his cheeks. Damn him. “If I am the sun, then you are my sky. I could not be if not in your presence.”

…Damn him.

You had no words, you could only hide your bashful grin behind your hand as you looked away from him, prompting Yoriichi to chuckle. “There is no need to be shy, my dearest sky,” he murmured, rolling over onto his back so he could look directly up at you. 

Had he been standing up, his knees would grow weak, he just knew it - you were too beautiful for your own good. His feelings clawed up their way from his chest and out his throat under your comforting gaze.

“I love you.”

You finally glanced back to see his cheeks dusted with pink - for the only way to make it so was with the feelings you had for each other. “I love you too, my sun.”

Autumn's Window, Bash Bish Falls by Stephen Sengebush

Autumn’s Window, Bash Bish Falls

In the far corner of western Massachusetts, just across the New York Border, Bash Bish Falls cascade down a series of narrow notches, finally split by a giant monolith of schist – the remnants of a glacial spillway.  The parking lot is broad and dusty, filled with tourists and dogs.  I join them for the short walk upstream to the base of the falls.

All around, once-green leaves have slowly bled out their chlorophyll, leaving the carotenoids and anthocyanin revealed in ruddy yellows and reds.  The day darkens, and the falls themselves are cast in shadow.  The setting sun glows through the leaves on the far side of the valley, painting us in bright neon.

Despite the crowd, all is quiet on a late October evening.

“Autumn’s Window, Bash Bish Falls” is an original oil painting, 12″x9,” oil on linen panel, and mounted in a black and gold floater frame.

identify one specific fiscal policy that might be implemented to offset the effects of a decrease in investment and explain how the policy would affect 1) aggregate demand 2) output and price level 3) real interest rates

(jk u don’t need to answer this hehe. unless? 🤨)

reading this actually made me want to burst into tears. but i hate myself so im gonna try give a simplified answer off the top of my head and if halfway through my spelling goes to shit just assume i cant see past the ugly snotty crying

okay so the determinants of economic growth (increased economic growth = yay we're doing well!) are written as C + I + G + (X-M), where C = consumption, I = investment, G = gov.spending, X = exports and M = imports. if ANY of these decrease then we have a fall in growth which is boo bad it means the economy is in a downturn and too much of a downturn means recession which is VERY boo bad.

so if there's a decrease in investment, that means growth is falling, which we don't want, so to pick it back up again, we want to increase the other determinants of growth. this is actually just what most policies are (policymaking is a big part of economics, hence monetary policy, fiscal policy, supply-side policy etc. you hear it all the time. i have a pavlovian response of pure aggression upon the word 'policy'). fiscal policy is when the government starts getting jiggy with spending and taxation, which is just sof cuking fun.

literally just remembered that expansionary and contractionary fiscal policy exist im literally head in hands weeping rn anyway. im choosing expansionary all my homies hate contractionary

so if investment falls you can increase government spending, which increases growth bc that means better education, better infrastructure etc = higher productivity = higher output = higher growth. you can also cut taxes on shit, which will increase consumption bc people are like 'fuck yeah i have more disposable income im gonna buy a hand soap and grow the economy <3'. there's also an increase in inflation. fun fact if ur studying economics: if you dont know the answer, assume inflation is happening. inflation is the world's biggest pick me. she literally is always there you cannot escape her she stands in my bedroom watching me sleep. so this is no.2 bc rise in price level is literally the definition of inflation. inflation can be a good thing though sometimes as a treat so we now have a perfect economy there are no problems im going to faint bish bash bosh

im pretending interest rates dont exist bc im lazy im just a pathetic little guy in the rain

Back From Hiking Trip

Just hobbled back from a hiking adventure, feeling like a two-legged pack of sore muscles. My trusty Vasque boots finally decided they’d seen enough summits, so I treated myself to a new pair – gotta keep the feet happy! Spent the weekend in Massachusetts, summiting two mountains, and then snuck into the Catskills for a bonus peak. My personal highlight? Camping by Bish Bash Falls – the sound of…

Laying on a blanket, speaking of dreams, You start to undress, my smile beams! We kiss, paralyzed, grinning, and mute. Your white tank and black undies to boot! You taunt me to follow through the falls. “Come on”, your voice beckons and calls. I stride through the water and see you there. Your eyes still give me that devilishly dare. Deep kisses, soft touches, and passions flare. So gorgeous, I can't help myself but to stare! As we melt into one another, bearing our all, Our voices are masked by the crashing waterfall. After our final explosion, laying there asleep, This mischievous memory I'll always keep. Smelling our passion flavor on body and hair. Again, you smile devilishly and give me the dare. ~ #waterfall #hike #trail #OffTheBeatenPath #🗺 #clouds #skyporn #🌤 #trees #autumn #FallHasFallen #🍃🍂🍁 #Wanderlust #BashBishFalls #Massachusetts #TaconicMountains #MountWashington #Berkshires #AllWhoWander #ComeExploreWithMe #PoemOfTheDay #poetry #📝📆 #PictureOfTheDay #PhotoOfTheDay #📷📆 #CTSelf (at Bash Bish Waterfall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjA1CJZOlEf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
