CT: New Haven County- Milford – Gulf Beach (sunset)

I am sucker for a good sunset. Gulf Beach in Milford is a resident only parking beach but in the Fall the sunsets a bit earlier and parking is open. A year ago today, before this blog, is when I went. A reminder of the pandemic times on display to keep everyone safe at entry.Continue reading “CT: New Haven County- Milford – Gulf Beach (sunset)”

Inspiration: Human Doing

Inspiration can come from a variety of places. If you pause and take in your surroundings suddenly “it” appears. While focused on work I received a message from a beautiful young colleague sharing a song she wrote, sings and compiled – Human Doing. It immediately made me relax and reset and I was better preparedContinue reading “Inspiration: Human Doing”

CT: Fairfield County- Fairfield to Bridgeport (Biking)

A beautiful just into Fall day in the mid 70s while still awaiting the fall colors, a bike ride along the now available beaches was a good way to go. I started at Jennings Beach in Fairfield (880 S Benson Road). Once it gets past Labor Day you can park in the lot. I sawContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Fairfield to Bridgeport (Biking)”

CT- Litchfield County-New Milford- Harrybrooke Park

I have enjoyed kayaking from Lovers Leap through the waters into Harrybrooke park and finally made it into the park on foot. It was welcoming from the point of entry as it sought to create a dedicated mile for a peaceful walk for its residents. The park offers dedicated pavilions for events as well asContinue reading “CT- Litchfield County-New Milford- Harrybrooke Park”

CT: Litchfield County-New Milford-Lovers Leap

Every place you go can turn into its own fairytale if you allow yourself to be taken in by the folklore and step into the tale. Lover’s Leap is one of those places which I feel even closer to my friend professed her love to her husband with a lock on the bridge. Not farContinue reading “CT: Litchfield County-New Milford-Lovers Leap”

CT: New Haven County- Southford Falls

One of the few places I visit in every season is Southford Falls. Its easy to get to and there is so much bang for the buck. I almost didn’t stop this time as I thought I wouldn’t see anything new. So not true! Each time the surroundings are a bit different. The colors andContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- Southford Falls”

CT: Hartford County- Berlin- Ragged Mountain (Hiking)

Not many of my friends and family have a similar love as I for hiking and kayaking in new places with a degree of frequency. One thing I have learned is to not let that stop me from doing something I enjoy. I still love my family and friends but it’s ok to pursue yourContinue reading “CT: Hartford County- Berlin- Ragged Mountain (Hiking)”

CT: Hartford County- Granby Open Farms Day

On September 18, 2021 there was an open Farms day in Granby which fostered a day of patronizing the local growers of the area. They had a detailed map and calendar of the day events and while it was my first time, my understanding is that this is an annual event. Nice environment with decentContinue reading “CT: Hartford County- Granby Open Farms Day”

A place where wishes may just come true. My any season choice visit to a series of waterfalls is this one. Set inside Ender State Forest in Granby, CT is this magical walk beside a series of waterfalls. Each visit has offered me a magical experience when I allow myself to immerse into my surroundings.Continue reading “CT: Hartford County- Granby- Ender Falls (Summer’s End)”
