Boulder

Niantic, CT  2018

I think this might be considered an erratic, a large rock deposited by a glacier.  Connecticut was covered by a glacier as recently as 15,000 years ago and boulders like this are plentiful in this area.

I will be taking a short break from blogging as I continue my recovery from recent surgeries.  I'm doing well, but have lacked the stamina to to take photo walks.  I've gone through my recent archives and have published what I consider to be some of the more interesting images.  As I regain my strength, I hope to get out more frequently.  Until then, my posts here will be rather sporadic.

Toad Rock

Niantic, CT  2018

When walking the trail running through our condo community here, once can find this local landmark.  I guess it sort of looks like a toad.  At one time there was a school nearby going by the name of Toad Rock School.

Coast Guard City

New London, CT  2018

The United States Coast Guard Academy is located just a few miles north of New London.  There are plans for a Coast Guard museum to be built downtown New London right on the river bank, but just like any project undertaken in Connecticut, it takes forever to accomplish.
