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…

Don’t knock on this door!
If you look closely, this mysterious small A-Framed structure, is visible in the woods of Burlington CT from the roadway. The bold sign on the front door states “POSTED-NO TRESPASSING”. So, like I always do, I respect private property and no trespassing signs and didn’t get closer than the image shows. What lies within this rather cool and mysterious looking structure? I don’t know and I’ll never know but I do think it made for a cool image. Cheryl stayed in the car planning our route for our next barn stop. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.4 MP full framed mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-105 F4 @ 34 mm.…

There’s beauty in this mess…………
At first glance it just looks like an overgrown mess. However, when you look closer you’ll see the beautiful roots spiraling up the tree to the right of the barn. The streaks of shadows, painting it’s west side, lend character to it’s already aging charm. With tears of rust and grime emanating from the window panes she perhaps longs for some attention. If you’ll look closely you’ll see the adjoining home, in much better condition, peeking through the V of the double tree. Yes, overgrown and unkempt but it’s nature intertwining with man’s creation and that can be beautiful. Live on old barn, live on! Photographed with a Sony A7RII…
