Hanging Flowers

New London, CT  2015

Flower baskets like this adorn the streets of downtown New London in the summer time.  They were in full bloom recently, adding some nice color to the city. 

Susan Anne

New London, CT  2015

During a recent walk around New London, I happened to luck out and be a good position to watch the Cross Sound Ferry Susan Anne, returning from Orient Point, NY.  The ferry actually backs into the dock stern first.  The boat turns around, without the aide of any tugboats, and just backs in.  I wonder if the captain has rear view mirrors? 

First Congregational Church

New London, CT  2015

I'm always impressed how church steeples dominate cityscapes.

Copperwood Murals

New London, CT  2015

I hadn't noticed this mural on my previous photo walks around New London.  The Copperwood Grille is a bar/restaurant which also has an off-track betting facility on the premises.  So the racing seahorses sort of makes sense to me, but I'm not sure about the portrait.  At first glance it looks like a portrait of Willie Nelson, but I'm not sure. 

6696

New London, CT  2015

The Shoreline East Line is a commuter train that runs between New London and New Haven, with stops in between.  Between runs, the train just sits in New London awaiting its return trip to New Haven.

Jack - Philip Grausman, 2006

Riverside Park, Hartford, CT  2015

I could find only one sculpture along the Lincoln Financial Sculpture Walk at Riverside.  I was expecting more.  

Founder's Bridge

Hartford, CT  2015

This is the second of three bridges spanning the Connecticut River in Hartford. This bridge carries CT Route 2 across the river.  The view is looking sout east into the city of East Hartford.  I need to return to Hartford to capture the third bridge.

Bulkeley Bridge

Hartford, CT  2015

Originally dedicated in 1908, this bridge crosses the Connecticut River and connects the communities of Hartford and East Hartford, CT.   I think it looks pretty good for a bridge over a 100 years old. .

Clara Ann

Meet Clara Ann Cahill who arrived on June 15, 2015, weighing in at 7 lbs, 11 oz and 19 inches tall.  Both mom, dad and big brother Colin are doing fine.

I got to meet Clara Ann this past Wednesday, when these pictures were taken.

White Mountains

Gorham, NH  2015

I spent a weekend recently in the White Mountain region of New Hampshire.  Early morning found quite a bit of fog towards the tops of the local mountains.  Mt Washington is not far from where I was staying.

Three Wheeler

Mystic, CT  2015

I have never ridden on a motorcycle, and really at my stage in life, I really have no great desire to ride one.  I might be tempted to ride this vehicle however.
