ITHACA, N.Y. — The work of local photographer Joseph Scaglione has a way of reminding you of that Ella Fitzgerald song that goes: “Summertime, and the living’s easy.”

Scaglione has been chronicling the pristine colors of summer at Photography 4D and is allowing us to republish his photographs on the Ithaca Voice; more of his work can be seen here, here or here.

I’ve also added some of his captions above each photo:
