Every body is beautiful ♥️ I absolutely love this message being spread by @cafeat407 in Liverpool. Not only does the cafe serve some delicious coffee and food, but they also support people struggling with eating disorders through Ophelia’s Place and @theeverybodyisbeautifulproject. Although I’m not always happy with the way my body looks, I’m lucky enough not to truly struggle with an ED. But I have known several people who have. The struggle is very difficult and hard to overcome. So next time you’re treating yourself to a latte, consider @cafeat407 and give a little back. Help a fellow coffee lover to love their own bodies too. . . . #everybodyisbeautiful #overcome #overcomeobstacles #bodypositive #bodypositivity #syracuse #cuse #syracuseny #upstate #upstateny #upstatenewyork #thisisupstate #centralnewyork #visitsyracuse #syracusefood #supportlocal #eatlocal #drinklocal #yourebeautiful #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #coffeeshop #coffeetime #iloveyoualatte #theeverybodyisbeautifulproject #bodyimage #edrecovery #visitcny

What’s your favorite bird to watch at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge? Last weekend we had some beautiful weather to enjoy a drive through the refuge, looking for the elusive wood stork or roseate spoonbill. While we didn’t see those, we did get some beautiful views of a bald eagle, great blue herons, geese, and more. . . . #montezuma #montezumawildliferefuge #montezumanationalwildliferefuge #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildliferefuge #senecafalls #upstate #upstateny #upstatenewyork #thisisupstate #wildlifephotography #baldeagle #greatblueheron #heron #birdsofinstagram #birdwatching #birdwatch #birdwatcher #birdsofig #eaglesofinstagram #exploremore #letsguide #fingerlakes #myflx #fingerlakesny #visitflx

This is my love story to my favorite dessert: 🍦🍨🍦 HAPPY NATIONAL ICE CREAM DAY! I hope you were celebrating today with a scoop (or 2 or 3) of your favorite.

Here are some of my favorites, in order of the photos: 1 & 2 - @thecremeria in Clinton, NY makes some incredibly flavored authentic gelato 3 - @bigdipicecream in N. Syracuse, NY, my long time favorite since I was a kid - and the closest one to my house 😉 4 - @spotted_duck_flx in Penn Yan, NY, which features frozen custard made from duck eggs in a variety of delicious flavors. Best part? You can get ice cream flights! 5 - @azucaricecream in Miami, FL featuring some incredible Cuban style ice cream 6 - @bmorelicks in Baltimore, MD, my go-to when I’m in Charm City because they have dozens and dozens of unique soft serve flavors 7 - @gilligans_ice_cream in Sherburne, NY, who specializes in wine ice cream 8 - @isbudinvaldis in Reykjavik, Iceland where you can get ice cream on a fresh waffle 🧇 9 - @waffiewaffle in Hampden, MD featuring incredible ice cream concoctions on fresh waffles - yes, I love waffles almost as much as ice cream! 10 - obligatory selfie from @museumoficecream in NYC . . . #nationalicecreamday #nationalicecreammonth #softserve #softserveicecream #visitsyracuse #syracuseeats #syracusefood #eeeats #cameraeatsfirst #iscreamyouscreamweallscreamforicecream #iscreamforicecream #icecream #icecreamlovers #gelato #icecreamcone #bmore #visitbmore #bmoreeats #baltimoreeats #nyceats #icecreamofinstagram #eatdessertfirst #icecreamday #eatlocal #eatlocalcny #eatlocalny #miamieats #visitmiami

I will never stop chasing waterfalls because that’s where I find my happy place. This waterfall is one of my favorites. Death Brook Falls is located across the street from where we camp every summer at Golden Beach State Park in Raquette Lake. There are so many waterfalls in the @adirondacks_ny, but this one holds a special place in my heart since it’s so close and the first one we saw when I went camping with my husband’s family for the first time. It’s located not far off Route 28, but bring shoes that you can get wet and muddy! With all the rain we’ve had this year, the short trail is partially flooded. Plus, the creek the waterfall flows into is very shallow, so you can walk in it with proper footwear. Do you have a favorite waterfall in the Adirondacks? PS shout out to long exposure photos - my iPhone did wonders for this beauty!
