South Farms – Morris CT
South Farms – The White Barn 211 Higbie Rd., Morris CT First let me start by saying is this not a beautiful barn and setting? Wow! The upkeep over the years has kept this barn in pristine condition.

Grazing Horses in the fall……….Hamden CT
I took a ride over to the Hamden Polo Grounds to see what I could find. It was a beautiful fall day and leaves were dropping fast. They had four fenced in fields camera accessible from the road to pick from. Each one had horses but varying backgrounds. I ultimately chose the image, with the three horses, as my favorite. It framed the horses nicely and had the most colorful fall backdrop. Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24.3MP, APS-C mirrorless camera and a Sony 18-55 F3.5-5.6 lens @ 54mm (35mm = 81mm). 1/320th, f5.6, ISO 800, Aperture Priority

The barn on the hill – Woodbury CT
Cheryl and I were fortunate enough to find this beautiful barn. We’ll be back a couple of more times to chase down more barns in this rural old town. We were quite pleased with the way it sat atop the hill with a field of wild flowers or possibly just ragweed. Either way they offered up some nice bright yellow for the foreground.
