CT: Hartford County- Blackledge Falls (Winter)

I stood in the center of Blackledge Falls in Glastonbury, CT which was literally frozen in time. I included myself in the shot for scale. It’s Connecticut’s natural ice castles and is truly amazing to see. About 1/2 mile hike from the lot but it is a steep decline to the falls so must wearContinue reading “CT: Hartford County- Blackledge Falls (Winter)”

Inspiration- Morning Moon

I have so much to learn about the universe – both literally and figuratively. Finding a piece of the moon just beyond reach of my favorite magnolia raised my curiosity to learn more. I don’t recall ever seeing it there. A moment later the sun took center stage highlighting the forest with a range ofContinue reading “Inspiration- Morning Moon”

CT: Fairfield County- Stamford Museum & Nature Center (Winter)

Heartwarming on a cold winters day was a visit to Stamford Museum and Nature Center. I enjoy the work of Jacque Pepin both as a cook and artist. Cool to see as part of the exhibit are drawings Pepin drew from the nature center itself as well as a brief video of his words ofContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Stamford Museum & Nature Center (Winter)”

Inspiration: Transitions

I usually select one sunrise picture to share but today I thought about the beauty in its transition. Notice how the second shot is not as vibrant as the first or third although they were taken in sequence. It reminded me of how much I learn from both life’s ups and downs. To look atContinue reading “Inspiration: Transitions”

CT: New Haven County- Milford (Winter Waterfalls)

The temperature was 7 with a windchill of below zero. One of my go to activities on such days are finding easy waterfalls to go see. Fortunately, Duck Pond Falls in Milford fit the bill! But baby was it cold outside! I was fascinated by the different ice formations created by the falls. The waterContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- Milford (Winter Waterfalls)”

CT: New Haven County- Southford Falls (Winter Waterfall)

Our temperature is neck to neck with Anchorage Alaska today at 25 degrees which I felt within the icy chasms of Southford Falls. I was surprised to find ice fishing, hockey and kids out ice skating on the pond. I would worry about weaknesses in the ices depth but they all were having a greatContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- Southford Falls (Winter Waterfall)”

CT: Litchfield County- Winter Wonderland Tour

With the first snow of the year I wondered where I could go for the biggest bang for my buck! Litchfield County it was! A great and manageable day with multiple stops and awesome views! This spot was one I stumbled upon when kayaking. At the time I thought it was a hidden enclave withContinue reading “CT: Litchfield County- Winter Wonderland Tour”

CT: Fairfield County- Fairfield-Sasco Hill (Winter Sunset)

The wreath otherwise reminded us of December at almost 60 degrees as the sun was setting on the beach. I was surprised by the number of kids driving up to see the sun set all with their cell phones capturing the changing skies. I noticed the difference in the shoreline with several people and birdsContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Fairfield-Sasco Hill (Winter Sunset)”
