Frosty leaves Leave a comment
Captured these on a cold morning while walking our dog. I love how the frost gives everything a bit of additional texture, which stands out especially strong when the light is low during sunrise.
Lonely tree at sunrise Leave a comment
This tree feels so lost and lonesome to me every time I walk past it while I’m taking the dog out. Captured in the marsh near Clinton Harbor.

I discovered these doors on an abandoned factory in New Haven. Loved the texture and faded colors. Click on any one to see them all in slideshow format.

More shots, this time in color, from the Madison cemetery, featuring many graves of Civil War soldiers. I posted some black&white pictures from here in an earlier post.

Madison Cemetery 2 comments
This cemetery, started in 1691, has many old, beautifully-worn tombstones from the 1700 and 1800’s. Decided to experiment with my new ultra-wide lens to try some close-up angles and some wide angles.

Saturday Morning Breakfast Leave a comment
Here’s a shot of my breakfast at one of my favorite places, G Cafe in Branford. The goat cheese and spinach omelet with toasted fitness bread is very yummy.
Shot with my new ultra-wide lens, which is turning out to be a fun piece of equipment.

This house, built in 1760, is located on Main Street of our little town of Clinton. Unfortunately it’s in terrible shape and I always hope, when I pass it, that someone will take pity and restore it to its former splendor.
