Pelican Cove, ME
During our early September stay in Maine Cheryl and I visited the quaint coastal town of Ogunquit, (pop. approx. 1600), which is home to Perkins Cove. This was just a quick drive from York Maine where our hotel was. We walked around Perkins Cove specifically as this cove was surrounded by water on three sides and was a small, quaint little paradise. It was full of unique boutiques, locally made merchandise and a couple of nice restaurants. Not to mention all the boating. It had the feel of Rockport MA’s artist community but was considerably smaller. If you ever decide to go the best parking is on the left just…

Millers Pond State Park, Durham CT
Cheryl and I took a hike around Millers Pond in Durham CT. What a quiet little spot in the middle of the woods. One end has a very small sandy area that I guess they call a beach. Then around the park there are two or three “boulders”, for lack of a better word, that are located on the water’s edge lending themselves to sunbathing and fishing. All in all, however, there was almost no one there on the Sunday afternoon that we went. The attached photo’s show the pond itself and various points along the path we took for our hike. We caught the coolest day all summer and…

Scoville Reservoice – Wolcott CT
Woodtick “Scoville” Reservoir Scoville Road Wolcott CT On June 9th of 2022 Cheryl and I decided to head over to the Woodtick Reservoir, known to locals as the “Scoville” Reservoicr. I had seen images of the reservoir area on the internet and saw some photo opp’s that I wanted to take advantage of. It was a beautiful sunny Summers day, approx. 85 degrees with limited humidity. The reservoice is approx. 120 acres large and is surrounded by tall, well established trees, that have been there forever. The town, many years, back, must have made a trail that follows the lake around its circumference. This path was plenty wide enough to…

Hidden behind the fall foliage a beauty still stands…….
Another gorgeous barn quietly hidden beyond the fall foliage of New England on Burnt Hill Rd. in Hebron CT. This barn actually sits behind a farm house (to the left out of view). However, it was completely blocked by the yard and trees. I was forced to drive down the street a bit and shoot accross a swampy wetlands area with a long lens to reach it. The long lens compresses the image and gives the appearance that it is closer to the road than it actually is Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24MP, mirrorless camera and a Sony 55-210 F4.5-6.3 OSS lens at 109mm (in 35mm = 163).…
