Silver Sands is a Connecticut State Park and one of a few in my top 5 based on the variety it offers. On this day, I was going to turn in my good camera into Milford Photo so found myself nearby on a beautiful last Friday of summer day. With only cell phone in hand,Continue reading “CT: New Haven County- Milford-Silver Sands”

RI-Newport: Easton’s Beach & Snack Bar
Parking lot full! One thing I love about biking is I can get most anywhere that may otherwise be hindered by traffic, full lots or outrageous prices! As part of my Newport Bike ride I stopped at this town beach, also referred as First Beach, and it’s snack bar. As a biker it was aContinue reading “RI-Newport: Easton’s Beach & Snack Bar”
CT: Fairfield County- Stamford- Cove Island Park (Kayaking)
Funny thing is I live in Stamford, CT and yet this is the first time I ventured with my kayak to Cove Island Park. The likely reason is that it’s on Long Island Sound and I’m a lazy river type of “yak-er.” The launch is easy from the large parking lot and quite appealing intoContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Stamford- Cove Island Park (Kayaking)”
CT: New Haven County- Milford- Charles Island Music Festival
For the fifth year, the Charles Island Music Festival was held off of Silver Sands State Park on a barge! This annual event benefits the Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital. It’s otherwise a free event but given it’s great cause and how well it’s orchestrated, I would recommend a donation. I generally kayak lakes andContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- Milford- Charles Island Music Festival”
FL: Broward County- Deerfield Beach
I found Deerfield Beach to be a wonderful location for sunrise and a coffee on the beach. I was fortunate enough to land a table the night before on the patio overlooking the beach at Oceans 234. Based on the anticipated location of the sun we knew this location would offer both a clear viewContinue reading “FL: Broward County- Deerfield Beach”

FL: Collier County- Naples Pier
One of my favorite past times is chasing sunsets. When visiting my son in Naples I immediately researched the best spots. Naples Pier made not only the top of the lists for the county but also for the state. While I have photographed and seen many sunsets in Connecticut, I admit the glows were muchContinue reading “FL: Collier County- Naples Pier”
CT: New Haven County: Milford to West Haven (Spring Biking)
Awesome shoreline ride from Milford Library to Westhaven Savin rock following the “Folks on Spokes” signs! So many beaches! Such a great ride! Park at the Milford Library. I chose to start my ride behind the library and through the park. Soon thereafter you reach Gulf Beach. Remember to bring a bike lock so youContinue reading “CT: New Haven County: Milford to West Haven (Spring Biking)”
CT: Fairfield County-Old Greenwich-Tod’s Point
Today a friend asked me to join her for a walk at Tod’s point in Old Greenwich. I wrote a bit of its history in a prior blog below. https://btographytravels.com/2021/01/02/ct-fairfield-county-old-greenwich-tods-point-off-season/l While I have walked the loop many a time, she was right, it’s different with each visit as there is so much character on theContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Old Greenwich-Tod’s Point”
CT: New Haven County- Madison-Hammonasset State Park (Spring Sunset)
After just over a year the covid vaccine is now available. After an exhausting day I was able to schedule the vaccine. It provided me with a feeling of renewal and hope. I then realized today was the first day of spring. The evening had a chill but I was prepared to rejoice with aContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- Madison-Hammonasset State Park (Spring Sunset)”
