Unexpected Guests   1 comment

Found these two wild turkeys strolling across our lawn today. Raced to my camera gear to get a good shot, and was lucky that they were still there when I got back.

The male was about 3 feet (1m) tall.

Red Spring   1 comment

While not everything is blooming yet, the red barn and the red door on a cottage in our neighborhood are adding a nice splash of color to the surroundings. Soon they’ll have competition from the spring flowers.

The colorful lobster trap buoys caught my eye on a stroll through the neighborhood on a rainy afternoon.

Boardwalk in Winter   Leave a comment

This was shot on Hammonasset Beach in Connecticut, on a cold and blustery day. Still, always a lovely place for a walk.

Stormy weather on the Connecticut shore meant there wasn’t a whole lot to see with these binoculars.

Fall Leaves   1 comment

Not many leaves are left on the trees – they’re all on the ground, for close-up inspection.

Fall in Connecticut   Leave a comment

Love the fall colors, even though they are not as bright as usual because hurricane Irene covered the trees with salt water, which made them lose their leaves earlier than usual.
