sunset – Pivot and Pause in New England

Sunset Stories

I was asked tonight if I ever tire taking pictures of the sunset. I enjoy not only sharing the beauty of the capture but I have a forever memory of who I was with, what we shared, watching that bird circle the rocks (that I slipped and fell upon from the slime), seeing the 5Continue reading “Sunset Stories”

CT: Newtown: Aquilas Nest Vineyard

A wonderful evening at Aquilas Nest at dueling pianos. Favorite wine is their Dry Rose While it was cloudy and humid, I found the moment when the sun peeked through to capture the sunset opportunities overlooking the vineyard. One my favorite vineyards in CT!

NY: Tarrytown: Farmer and the Fish

Time simply unexpectedly unfolded in our best interest. Sunset was at 7PM and the traffic was horrific. Stopped. We reached our chosen restaurant – small without reservations on the water on the perfect evening. The valet reached for the car door and I was convinced we wouldn’t be staying I shared. Table 11 on theContinue reading “NY: Tarrytown: Farmer and the Fish”

CT: Darien- Pear Tree Point Beach

After a pause on the gym for a while, a Lady Gaga class special got me out and cycling again! Fortunately on a beautiful clear night the class ended just in time to head to the beach! Post Labor Day is when the resident limitations of some of the local beaches are lifted. This isContinue reading “CT: Darien- Pear Tree Point Beach”

CT: Milford: Silver Sands/Walnut Beach (Sunset)

Stayed up for a golden sun down at Silver Sands. . . . . . and a lovely moonlit return. Recognize that while you can see the sunrise directly here in the morning, sunset is indirect here but provides you with a beautiful sky most especially with wispy clouds around. I parked at Walnut BeachContinue reading “CT: Milford: Silver Sands/Walnut Beach (Sunset)”

CT: Westport- Compo Beach

Now that it’s beyond May 1st, parking for Compo Beach necessitate a residents sticker. Fortunately you can still walk or bike in. It was a perfect evening for the effort. I enjoyed watching the sun cast it’s shadows and reflections within the perfect trees lining the shore. The pictures tell the story of the eveningContinue reading “CT: Westport- Compo Beach”

CT: Darien: Pear Tree Point (Sunset)

Only a few more weeks until I can no longer access many of my favorite coastline beaches. But tonight my favorite veggie crunch salad was on sale so I grabbed a bunch and head to see the sunset. As I opened my car door, the wind pushed it back towards me. I realized my viewContinue reading “CT: Darien: Pear Tree Point (Sunset)”

CT: Fairfield County- Pear Tree Point

Spring Forward brings the ability to catch a sunset after work. I anxiously grabbed a sandwich and watched from the gazebo on the point. I may have been a bit premature as several onlookers shivered from the cold with a similar thought. But I was nonetheless inspired by the idea of spring awakening.

Inspiration- Peekaboo Sunset

I made a detour tonight as I saw the sun setting in a clear blue sky in my rear view mirror. I enjoyed playing peekaboo as the sun fell into Westport’s Compo Beach with dozens of cars lining its shores. As my son recently said to me . . . Good call Mom!

CT: Middlesex County- Madison (Drive up sunset)

It’s been a while. At 55 in February it was time for a sunset with reflections. I have always enjoyed the drive up sunsets by the Madison Beach Hotel in Madison, CT You can also stop at their bar and overlook the sunset on the beach on their wraparound porch and simply get lost inContinue reading “CT: Middlesex County- Madison (Drive up sunset)”
