Heritage Farm, Bolton CT
Beautiful Heritage Farm Barn with it’s majestic silo sits hi atop the hillside in scenic Bolton CT. I was quite a considerable distance away for this shot as they owned a lot of acreage around the barn and I’m limited to shooting from the roadside.

Coyote prowling a dairy farm.
[wzslider height=”510″ lightbox=”true”]Coyote in the foreground prowling around the farm with unsuspecting cows in the distant background. I was able to scare the coyote off but I can’t guarantee tomorrow. Typically coyote’s don’t attack cows but their calf’s are vulnerable. Image captured on Whirlwind Hill Rd., Wallingford CT. Nikon D7100, 18-55mm lens @ 55mm. 1/500, f/11, ISO 100
