The weather was still pretty nice out here in the Nutmeg State this morning, even though the skies are no longer crystal clear. My sister also had today off of work, so we headed out early to visit Hanover Pond and the Quinnipiac River Gorge Trail, where we’ve had some good luck before. Our firstContinue reading “Same state, different pond…”

The reservoir comes through again…
The recent cold snap we’ve had in Connecticut is taking the weekend off, and I think a high pressure system is sitting right over us, so it is a picture perfect August morning here with mild temps, still air, and clear skies. As I mentioned, my sister doesn’t have to work today, so we droveContinue reading “The reservoir comes through again…”
A little progress in CT at last…
Sorry about the radio silence lately. An odd confluence of events and conditions out here have really put a damper on my picture taking this week, but I finally had some luck this morning. Besides the American crows and blue jays we see in Estabrook, I see two more corvids regularly out here. This firstContinue reading “A little progress in CT at last…”
Better than nothin’, I hope…
There has been quite a change in the weather overnight out here in Connecticut. Sure, it was cloudy yesterday, but temps were in the high 80s, and it felt as though the humidity percentage was, too. This morning, however, when my sister and I set out, it was still cloudy, but temps were in theContinue reading “Better than nothin’, I hope…”
Connecticut gets off to a rough start…
Things are not quite going according to plan here in Connecticut. I had an errand to run first thing this morning, and by the time I got down to the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, where I’ve had some great luck in the past, I couldn’t find a decent picture to take. Oh well. Let’s hopeContinue reading “Connecticut gets off to a rough start…”
Taking the show on the road again…
I couldn’t make it into Estabrook Park this morning because we’re off to Connecticut to see my folks, and I doubt very much that I’ll have a chance to get any pictures there today, so here are a few leftovers from the amazing August we’ve been having so far. If not top of the list,Continue reading “Taking the show on the road again…”
Finally, a turn back towards normalcy…
It was a nice morning in Estabrook Park, and things are starting to look a little closer to normal at the river. The sand bags placed to allow work on our side of the falls are just starting to poke through the water, and it is now possible to walk along the river trail fromContinue reading “Finally, a turn back towards normalcy…”
Lots of pairs…
It was nearly a picture-perfect day in Estabrook, and the clear skies let me get into the park nice and early. I don’t know if we were there before the guy who runs his German shepherd loose over the soccer fields every morning, or if the deer have just learned to wait until he andContinue reading “Lots of pairs…”
Maybe we’re done with the rain, at least for a couple of days…
We had a nice turnout for the Friends of Estabrook Park picnic yesterday afternoon, and our reward, besides the free beer, good music, and great company, was this amazing rainbow after a light shower rolled through. The weather was back to being beautiful by this morning with mild temps, nearly still air, and clear blueContinue reading “Maybe we’re done with the rain, at least for a couple of days…”
Getting off to a soggy start…
Well, the river is still crazy high, and it’s raining again this morning, so even though I did wander around in Estabrook for a while between showers, we’re gonna hafta go to the archives for some images this morning. Luckily, the pond and pollinator gardens were pretty fruitful yesterday, so we don’t have to goContinue reading “Getting off to a soggy start…”
