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.

Beautifully maintained barn in Newtown CT
As I was barn searching along South Main St. on the outskirts of Newtown CT I was struck by the stellar condition of this very old barn. The property owners had maintained this in such a manner that it is not only gorgeous but will last for many more years to come. As I was across the street taking shots of the barn I caught the attention of the Lady of the house. She approached me wondering what I was up to. I’m always fully transparent and told her about my passion for barns and this website. She advised me that her husband was going to be home in a…
