Chasing winter sunsets is not something my younger self anticipated doing. I am not a fan of the cold. But with the pandemic, I have become drawn to finding all Connecticut has to offer.
Hammonassett State Park had been on my sunset seeking list and tonight’s sunset offered me such fun! These were taken on the beach at the furthest parking lot after the nature center lot.
I decided to try my lens ball the moment I saw the stone cairns by the shore. But my challenge was to determine if I could balance the ball on top of the final stone.
Fortunately the sand was made up of millions and millions of seashells. I played with several before I found one that could both sit well on top of the stone and balance the lens ball!
Success! I was so pleased and so were several around me! Once again strangers come together in awe and joy by the sunset and the simplicity of the cairns and the balancing ball.
Even if the world can sometimes feel upside down.
I couple this with a stop at the Madison Cheese shop. Best grilled cheeses around!
