A Vineyard and a Conservation Center

After the dairy we stopped briefly to look at Sunset Meadow Vineyards in Goshen then drove to the White Memorial Conservation Center in Bantam Connecticut.

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.

Hidden Valley Preserve

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.

Blairstown

We went to visit a friend in New Jersey in September. We had a lovely visit.

NYBG Plants

Last in this series from the New York Botanical Gardens. I threw in one landscape by Marc.

Ward Pound Ridge Landscapes

I don’t go hiking deep into Ward Pound Ridge. I see more butterflies at the edges.
