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.

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

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

Despite the dreary looking day, we headed to Yonkers yesterday and so glad we did. Untermyer was glorious.

This tends to be the way they hang out--one or the other on top of each other. #grassforcats, #classycatscatnip, #dianewillowdesigns

Early rose!

This painting has been on this wall since 2013, but I've only just seen it. Painted by German artist Hendrik 'ecb' Beikirch as a tribute to the young people who came to the Lower East Side in the late 1800's and early 1900's to start new a new life.

At NYBG. 3 hours a week I volunteer to photograph the plant specimens gathered from all over the world. Last week the specimens were from Brazil and dated in the 1920's. This specimen is from 1973 and somewhere in New York. I forgot to write down the name. :( For their digitized files we are using all sorts of professional cameras. This shot was for me so I just used my iPhone.

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.

Part of Gantry State Park looking at mid-town Manhattan. These tracks must have been part of the pier system removing cargo from ships. Most of the piers are gone--although there are two to the right of this photo that you can walk out on.

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!
