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)”

CT: Middlesex County- Haddam- Gillette Castle (Holiday)
William Gillette was the actor who originally played Sherlock Holmes who built a home which aligned to his character in CT. During the holiday season they deck the halls of the castle! The actors and docents were engaged and very knowledgeable. I very much enjoyed trying all the different latches of the doors. Gillette alsoContinue reading “CT: Middlesex County- Haddam- Gillette Castle (Holiday)”
CT: New Haven County- Meriden- Castle Craig
A 72 degree day in late October in CT and the full harvest moon is to rise on a clear night at a reasonable time. There’s so much to be done – work, cooking, cleaning and a list of to dos. But the town of Meriden was keeping the access road open to the CastleContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- Meriden- Castle Craig”
CT: Fairfield County- Sasco Hill Beach (Sunset)
An exceptional weather day for mid October in Connecticut at 79 degrees! The sunset was stunning through a lengthy and beautiful afterglow finish. My favorite venues are those with objects to use together with the sun’s set. Tonight I had a paddler and families. I had trees and the lifeguard stand. Sasco beach in FairfieldContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Sasco Hill Beach (Sunset)”

CT: New Haven County- New Haven- Lighthouse Point
The sky was clear and blue with the temperatures comfortable. Definitely sunset weather. Overlook or beach . . . I decided to try lighthouse park since there are so many structures to play with light and colors. Trees, plants, pavilion and an iron tower each provided that opportunity. I placed the lens ball on theContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- New Haven- Lighthouse Point”

I am sucker for a good sunset. Gulf Beach in Milford is a resident only parking beach but in the Fall the sunsets a bit earlier and parking is open. A year ago today, before this blog, is when I went. A reminder of the pandemic times on display to keep everyone safe at entry.Continue reading “CT: New Haven County- Milford – Gulf Beach (sunset)”
CT: Hartford County- Berlin- Ragged Mountain (Hiking)
Not many of my friends and family have a similar love as I for hiking and kayaking in new places with a degree of frequency. One thing I have learned is to not let that stop me from doing something I enjoy. I still love my family and friends but it’s ok to pursue yourContinue reading “CT: Hartford County- Berlin- Ragged Mountain (Hiking)”
NY- Hudson Valley- Rhinebeck- Ferncliff Forest
Thank you to the Hudson Valley sunset for encouraging my fearful climb up the fire tower on 9/11/21. It felt meaningful to overcome a fear on this 20th anniversary of 9/11. The hike to the fire tower was a quick and easy 1/2 mile or so. As I looked up the fire tower I assessedContinue reading “NY- Hudson Valley- Rhinebeck- Ferncliff Forest”
