The sun took a while to set. It shared so many colors and seemed to brighten further before finally saying good night. I took advantage of its hesitation. There were many vehicles parked along the Seawall waiting for tonight’s sun. I loved catching the sun’s reflecting in the beach houses. The water was crashing againstContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Stratford- Lordship Seawall (Winter Sunset)”

CT: Fairfield County- Westport- Compo Beach (Winter Sunset)
A warm clear night in March 2021, I drove to Compo Beach while I still can (in season it’s for residents only). This time I sought a new perspective for the setting sun. One sunset, four perspectives. I parked and walked on the perimeter of the grounds. I saw a patch of wheat grass andContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Westport- Compo Beach (Winter Sunset)”
CT: Fairfield County-Easton-Brett Woods Park (Winter)
To keep things interesting, I try and locate new hikes the area. Since it’s the winter with ice and remnants of snow it can be more of a challenge. I chose Brett Woods in Easton and found it worth the jaunt! First, I love loop trails and this was one that was just over twoContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Easton-Brett Woods Park (Winter)”
CT: Fairfield County-Trumbull- Parlor Rock Park (Winter)
Wait, what? A secret path to an amusement park from the 1800s? When biking this path this past Fall 2020, I saw an alluring gap in the fence which was clearly intentional but yet not marked. Mmmmm? I read of the once secret area where the youth would go in the late 1700s to aContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Trumbull- Parlor Rock Park (Winter)”
CT: Fairfield County-Greenwich Audubon Sanctuary (Winter Hike 2021)
Reviewing a phone app called AllTrails, I found a reference to an easy hike referred to as Old Pasture and Lake Loop which I discovered was part of the Greenwich Audubon Center grounds. While we didn’t have an opportunity to go into the Audubon Center as it was closed, it is comprised of a beautifulContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Greenwich Audubon Sanctuary (Winter Hike 2021)”
CT: Fairfield County-Greenwich- Mianus River Park (Winter Hike)
Over the hill and through the woods is the tune you might hear hiking through Mianus River Park. The trail was extremely well marked to include trail maps, signs and trail markers. If your considering a dog, going on a hike is a great way to interact with the different types. Today, I met 4Continue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Greenwich- Mianus River Park (Winter Hike)”
Inspiration: Amber Glow Amidst the Snow
I often read poetry about the purity of the snow but it hadn’t resonated as much as it does now. There is something so relaxing to watch it fall so softly. It hides all the imperfections beneath it. It provides a canvas on which to shine a glimmer of hope. You don’t need to goContinue reading “Inspiration: Amber Glow Amidst the Snow”
CT: Fairfield County- Norwalk- Calf Pasture Beach (Winter Sunset)
It can be pretty darn magical to take a stroll around Calf Pasture beach as the sun sets and the colorful time following. Some people, however, don’t believe in magic. Recognize I am not a photographer but I can share approaches I have used to capture the more colorful or unusual shots. I have mentionedContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Norwalk- Calf Pasture Beach (Winter Sunset)”
Inspiration: Take In and Take Out!
In Stamford, Norwalk and Fairfield I can find the best Pho-Ga soup there is at Mecha Noodle. This works great in the winter months as each are relatively near a shoreline for a car picnic with a view! (Go with it, got to get creative with this pandemic 🙂 For those that know me, IContinue reading “Inspiration: Take In and Take Out!”
CT: Fairfield County: Stratford- Long Beach (off-Season Sunset)
Favorite winter activities are chasing icicles and “forbidden” sunsets. Capturing sunsets during the off season at locations that are otherwise for residents only. This evening brought me to Long Beach in Stratford. It was 25 degrees today but the windchill was around 15! But I had not seen a recent sunset so darn it ifContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County: Stratford- Long Beach (off-Season Sunset)”
