CT WINTER 2020-2021
The photos in this gallery were taken this winter in and around Easton, CT, where we have a weekend house (which has proved to be a mainstay for us during the pandemic). This photogenic church perks up the neighborhood.
The notable trees in our locale never fail to arouse this city-bred kid. Here are two shots of my favorite giant oak.
The tree that I return to every season is this one – seemingly in full attack mode, poised to spear the house it enriches.
Easton is no elegant suburb – for instance, it's the home to several farms.
My hunch is that these deer are of the man-made variety.
Here’s a thoughtful homeowner who furnishes a roadside resting place for weary hikers.
I just like the wood/snow mix.
An ice-frosted reservoir in the vicinity.
This tranquil view is near the school.
I'm drawn to reflections like these.
Next year's Christmas trees.
Cemeteries look even more forlorn in the snow.
Gone but not forgotten.
We have a small outdoor zoo in Easton where I took the following winter shots.
These geese just flew onto the zoo grounds one day, and then followed the pandemic-imposed guidance arrows around the premises.
This emu misses Australia . . . .
Here’s our house and its grounds in winter.
I took these black and white photos during a February snowstorm.
Back to color (not that you'd notice it) after the storm.
These next three shots were taken at night.
(Note the four chairs)
Even the icicles look better the next day.
Now we're on the road out of Easton.
A nearby reservoir.
Check out the house perched high above the reservoir.
I'm always attracted to rushing water.
And how about this giant snow-covered frog!
An old house that caught my eye.
An historical monument in Redding to General Israel Putnam's winter quarters camp during the Revolutionary War.
A venerable cemetery.
One of my favorite places to visit is the old town center in Redding, which is especially attractive after a snowfall.
