Thorncrest Farm

I found Thorncrest Farm using Google maps. They sell milk and chocolate: Gourmet Chocolates “The Magic is in our Milk” Thorncrest Farm. We bought both delights. The milk was full cream.

Lyman Lane CT

After breakfast we stopped on a quiet lane to photograph this lovely scene. Marc made the last photograph and I edited it. I changed the tarmac to a dirt road in the first one.

Goshen in the Morning

We ate breakfast at a local place called the Milk and Honey Grill in the farming area in Goshen Connecticut frequented by locals. There was a goat farm across the road that also had a couple of camels.

We covered a lot of ground on the first day. We drove on the back roads. There are lots of preserves an in the NW corner of Connecticut. The third image is a very odd looking fallen tree.

The first post of our five day trip to western Connecticut to see the Fall colors.

Last of September

One of my favorite drives is up the Hudson River along route 9W in New Jersey and up through New York. Starting from the George Washington Bridge we stopped at Greenbrook (a little private nature sanctuary). Next we stopped at the State Line Lookout. Then we drove on up to Iona Island. After that we crossed the Bear Mountain Bridge and drove back down along Route 202 and 9 on the east side of the Hudson.

During the event I managed to photograph these. Everyone got to photograph two young racoons looking for edibles at the lake edge.

Central Park BnH 1

We went to a photography event at the Hallett Nature Sanctuary | Central Park sponsored by B & H camera. The open enrolment meant that there were too many people. The birds all fled. The ones I photographed we visible before the event.
