The weather this morning in Estabrook Park was more similar to yesterday’s than the forecast had led me to expect. The air was mostly still, and the sky was pretty clear, but sunrise temps were in the low 40s. Brrrr. I could see my breath.

Same state, different pond…
The weather was still pretty nice out here in the Nutmeg State this morning, even though the skies are no longer crystal clear.

Our firstContinue reading “Same state, different pond…”

The air was nearly still and just below freezing, the snow on the ground managed to stick around, and the sky was mostly clear for the first time in days. Best of all, I had a few minutes to enjoy it all before today’s festivities got underway.Continue reading “It’s about time…”
All kinds of fun sights…
After the breezy start yesterday, the still air this morning was a very welcome change. That, plus the crystal blue sky, more than made up for temps in the 40s, and it was a perfect morning for visiting Estabrook Park. I found my first fun sight, beside the river at the north end, with theContinue reading “All kinds of fun sights…”
