One of my favorite venues is Ballard Park in Ridgefield where I enjoyed a picture perfect picnic sunset. Family friendly and old home town feel from the people to the ice cream truck at the corner. The evening closed with a beautiful sunset. Gratitude was felt walking through the garden. Ballard Park is also aContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Ridgefield-Ballard Park”

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: Fairfield County- Rowayton- The Restaurant at Rowayton Seafood (Sunset)
Being a gal from New York City, I admit, I can be a bit of a city snob when it comes to a nice restaurant. Seating can be indoor or out, seated or by boat! The environment was very relaxing and the service superb. The food was delicious and I felt good about going forContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Rowayton- The Restaurant at Rowayton Seafood (Sunset)”
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)”
CT: Fairfield County-Stratford- Lordship Seawall (Winter Sunset)
The sun took a while to set. It shared so many colors and seemed to brighten further before finally saying good night. I took advantage of its hesitation. There were many vehicles parked along the Seawall waiting for tonight’s sun. I loved catching the sun’s reflecting in the beach houses. The water was crashing againstContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Stratford- Lordship Seawall (Winter Sunset)”
CT: Fairfield County- Westport- Compo Beach (Winter Sunset)
A warm clear night in March 2021, I drove to Compo Beach while I still can (in season it’s for residents only). This time I sought a new perspective for the setting sun. One sunset, four perspectives. I parked and walked on the perimeter of the grounds. I saw a patch of wheat grass andContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Westport- Compo Beach (Winter Sunset)”
CT: New Haven County- New Haven- East Rock
A 50 degree day after weeks of snow motivated me to take a drive to East Rock to check out the Eli Whitney museum waterfall and the Giant Steps to the summit. Boy was I rewarded with a perfect sun and moon evening! The corner waterfall and the tunnel into East Park was historical toContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- New Haven- East Rock”
CT: New Haven County- Milford- Silver Sands (Winter Sunset)
Chasing sunsets requires motivation after a long work day. A few minutes after the end of a productive meeting with a good team and a 50 degree day I hopped in the car with no destination. I have learned to read the sky to help decide where to go. Based on the cloud cover IContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- Milford- Silver Sands (Winter Sunset)”
CT: Fairfield County- Norwalk- Calf Pasture Beach (Winter Sunset)
It can be pretty darn magical to take a stroll around Calf Pasture beach as the sun sets and the colorful time following. Some people, however, don’t believe in magic. Recognize I am not a photographer but I can share approaches I have used to capture the more colorful or unusual shots. I have mentionedContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Norwalk- Calf Pasture Beach (Winter Sunset)”
CT: Fairfield County: Stratford- Long Beach (off-Season Sunset)
Favorite winter activities are chasing icicles and “forbidden” sunsets. Capturing sunsets during the off season at locations that are otherwise for residents only. This evening brought me to Long Beach in Stratford. It was 25 degrees today but the windchill was around 15! But I had not seen a recent sunset so darn it ifContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County: Stratford- Long Beach (off-Season Sunset)”
