This spot is off of Rt. 169 in Canterbury, one of the scenic routes in northeastern Connecticut.

All summer our little pond was not more that a large puddle. We were having such a drought. But in the past 6 weeks or so, we've had two significant snow falls and yesterday a deluge of rain. Today both our ponds are brimming.

At Kennebunk, ME

It was the perfect summer night for a sail or a stroll along the new New York waterfront. Pics taken from Pier 6 in Brooklyn

All four Cygnets hatched over the weekend, 41-42 days after Victoria started to incubate them, spot on time.

It seems to me that when Albert sat the first two eggs for seven days, he wasn't actually incubating them. I am wondering if his feathers were to well insulated to allow his body heat to start the incubation period ?

I found this scene right next to Monet's garden.

So much new construction in Manhattan. For years and years this lot had a gas station and carwash . . . now it's a condominium! On lower 6th Avenue

Catamarans beside Swan Lake, Cudmirrah, on the NSW South Coast.

Woke up to a dusting of snow this morning and decided to hop in the car to see what I could find. Have only been on this road maybe 5 times in my life and don't remember seeing this barn before. Loved it!

The new IBM building at Astor Plaza reflecting the water tank on the roof next door.

And later taking the ferry back to Wall Street.

I combined the buildings and the sculpture into a swirl of color. Chase Plaza, Downtown, NYC

but what remained were glorious! Devil's Hopyard in East Haddam, CT. About 850 acres of walking trails with a covered bridge and beautiful waterfalls--when there is water. Connecticut is in the middle of a severe drought, but there was this much water still left!

The Kiku exhibit at NYBG was not the largest they have hosted, but there were still lots of beautiful blooms to enjoy

Starts up in New Hampshire I think and trickles down into Connecticut. Just past my parent's property is the foundation to a saw mill from the 1700's. The water from this river powered it.

The real and the reflection!

Funktional Vibrations by artist Xenobia Bailey Apparently she crocheted these pieces before they were converted to glass tiles. That would have taken me two lifetimes at minimum!

anglicized name--Wildowsky. Because of Ancestry.com this past weekend my Dad, one of my sisters and I met family we didn't know we had! But there are lots of missing pieces. If anyone in my thread is a Wojtowicz or knows some who has the Wojtowicz last name, we would like to know you. We might be related. Our Wojtowicz family have the J. Wojtowicz Trucking Co. in Clifton Park, NY. My side of the family is from Norwich/Canterbury, Connecticut.

There are several of the beautiful poles around Astor Place. I believe the artist is 90 years old and still adding tiles. This one commemorates the Public Theatre just down the street.

In the 1970's this area of New London was abandoned and set for redevelopment. But the Savings Bank of New London saw it's potential and wanted to preserve some of the areas history and contribution to our country's establishment and growth. So they bought up the block and renovated every house.

A totally different look for Bryant Park and everyone stayed off the grass. It was good to see.
