Sunset at Osborndale State Park, Derby CT
Cheryl and I had never been to Osborndale State Park in Derby before so we decided to give it a go. It was a cold winters day and very few people were there. We parked in the designated parking area and it was a one minute walk to the pond. We were hoping to see ducks and geese but nothing. Cheryl wanted to photograph birds and headed over to the woods adjacent to the pond and waited. She came away with a nice red winged black bird and a woodpecker shot. I had a short zoom on my camera which was not conducive to birding so I tried to find…

Boathouse in York ME
While driving around scoping out potential shots we drove by this old boathouse and immediately knew it had shot potential. We then got up early one of the mornings, during our stay at York ME, and headed over. Of course, the buoy’s are what makes it so eye catching. We were fortunate to get there before the workers or boaters arrived and had the place to ourselves. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.3MP, full framed mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105mm F4 lens @ 24mm. 1/500th, f11, ISO 400, Aperture priority

A pumpkin welcomes visitor to this rust Kent CT barn.
With fall in the air, and Halloween around the corner, Cheryl was excited not only to see Old Glory adorn the entrance of this rustic barn but a bright beautiful pumpkin sitting at the stoop as well. Golden leaves adorned the landscape, and a colorful sky shown through, this barn made quite an impact on us in the lovely town of Kent CT. The homeowners house, (out of sight to the right), had a sign that said 1835. I don’t know when the barn was actually constructed. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.4 mb, mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-120 zoom lens at 39mm. Aperture Priority, F8, 1/320th, ISO 1000.…

One of Harwinton CT’s best ………..
This beauty was on our list of shots that day in Harwinton CT. As I pulled up I knew I had a winner but the sun was destroying the shot. It was in the low 90’s that afternoon. There were some clouds overhead. Cheryl patiently waited in the car as I stood on the street edge for at least 25 minutes waiting for cloud cover. Eventually it happened. I had nice diffused daylight for about 30 seconds. I got the shot I needed and was on my way. Some barn scenes click with you, some don’t. There was something about this barn that I liked. Photographed with a Sony A7RII…

Takes a hit but is still standing…………………….
Cheryl and I were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful this old barn looked when we pulled up to it. It was first on our list of barns this Saturday afternoon in Burlington CT. We clearly were starting our journey off on the right foot! In a state of abandonment it’s barely clinging to life. A collapsed roof on the left side and foliage that just won’t quit she still stands boldly with her giant silo as the sun lights her up from behind. From a historical standpoint I hate to see any barn fall in a state of disrepair or, worse yet, be torn down. From an artistic perspective sometimes…
