CT: Fairfield County-Old Greenwich, Tod’s Point (off-season)
Another great option off season is Tod’s Point in Old Greenwich.

There is a lovely 2.25 mile loop paved walk around the point. The views ofContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Old Greenwich, Tod’s Point (off-season)”

CT: Fairfield County-Norwalk- Calf Pasture (Winter Solstice)
“Move to the left,” I screamed out to the ducks who were hanging out by the shore. Tonight is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, and also the evening when it’s said that we can view the planets Jupiter and Saturn to form the star of Bethlehem. Well that’s quite a goodContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Norwalk- Calf Pasture (Winter Solstice)”
CT: Fairfield County-Darien-Pear Tree Point Beach (off -season sunset)
In my continued quest for off season drive up sunsets (i.e., places in season for residents only), brought me to 8 acre Pear Tree Point Beach in Darien on this November evening. As I approached the beach I already felt like I was on a European vacation. I knew the feeling would only be forContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Darien-Pear Tree Point Beach (off -season sunset)”

IContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Bridgeport-Black Rock Harbor Lighthouse”

CT: Fairfield County-Stratford-Lordship Seawall
It’s about finding calm in the chaos. For me that calm can be found in appreciating the colors of the sunset. Along the Connecticut shoreline there are only so many places that face west to get the direct view. One of those places is Lordship Seawall in Stratford. I shared in a recent blog myContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Stratford-Lordship Seawall”
