Couple of Barns in Southbury CT
These two barns were loated on a very narrow dirt road. I wasn’t expecting this. I couldn’t get far enough back to frame these shots as I would have wanted to. I, unfortunately needed a super wide angle lens which was left home accidentally. A neighbor came out and told me that the grey barn is very very old but she didn’t know the year it was built. Both were photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24.3 MB, mirrorless camera and a Sony Carl Zeiss 24mm, f1.8 lens: Red Barn: 1/160th, f11, ISO 100, Aperture priority Grey Barn: 1/125th, F11, ISO 200, Aperture priority

Rogers Orchards, Southington CT
Rogers Orchards 336 Long Bottom Rd. Southington, CT 06489 Open 9-6 daily (at time of writing) (860) 229-4240 Cheryl needed some fresh peaches to make peach cobbler so we thought we’d try an orchard that we’d never visited before. Rogers did not disappoint. First of all, what an orchard! I think they grow every type of apple that will grow in CT. The orchard seems to go as far as the eye can see. Like most orchards you can either pick your own or go into their country store. The store has (to name a few) apples, peaches, vegetables, local honey, cider, and one of their specialties is freshly made…

Clover Nook Farm, Bethany CT
Clover Nook Farm 50 Fairwood Road Bethany, CT 06524 (203) 393-2929 Cheryl and I made our first visit ever to the Clover Nook Farm. We both got what we needed. They had a nice country store and Cheryl was able to purchase some fresh vegatables. While doing so I was able to photograph their cow barn across the street as well as other parts of their property. I found their store to be exceptionally clean and nicely organized. All images were taken with a Sony Nex 7, 24.3 mirrorless camera and a Sony 18-55 lens.

Nice maintained old barn in Watertown, CT
Cheryl and I were combing Watertown looking for old barns. The town didn’t seem to have many. This barn is the nicest one we could find and it has been kept up over the years very nicely. It sits on a stone foundation which is the only hint of its age but the remainder is pristine. These folks obviously have made the effort and it shows. Photographed with a Sony Nex-7, 24.3 mp mirrorless camera and a Sony 18-55 lens at 27mm (APS-C equiv.= 40mm). I/800th, F8, ISO 800, Aperture Priority

Cooke Farm, Muddy Roots Farm, Wallingford CT
I lived in Wallingford during the 50’s, 60’s and 80’s so it has a soft spot in my heart. I remember this as the old Cooke’s Farm. A farm that has been in Wallingford, at this location since the 1700’s and passed down from generation to generation. It’s situated on Northford Rd in East Wallingford not far from the Northford town line. It appears that it is still in the family and the tradition continues. It currently goes by the name Muddy Roots Farm. As you can clearly see the family has taken care of the barns all these years as they are in beautiful condition to this day. I’m…

Barn on the bank of the Shepaug River, Roxbury CT
Cheryl and I were barn hunting off our list in Roxbury/Woodbury CT and were fortunate enough to photograph this beautiful old barn situated on the banks of the Shepaug River. This barn has been nicely maintained over the years. It made for a quaint setting. I’m sure in the fall it will be gorgeous. Perhaps we’ll return.
