Studio 80 + Sculpture Grounds

Old Lyme, CT  2016

Tucked away between the Lyme Academy of Fine Art and the Lieutenant River, renown sculptor Gilbert V Boro has a sculpture studio named Studio 80.  Outside of his studio there is a sculpture garden encompassing about 5 acres of land featuring the works of many sculptors.  It is truly an idyllic setting and the sculptures very unique and beautiful.  Anyone who appreciates fine art should take the time to stroll the Sculpture Grounds.  I'll be featuring some photos of this art during the coming week.

American Elm

Old Lyme, CT

Dutch Elm Disease virtually wiped out the population elm trees in America.   It's caused by a fungus spread by a number of varieties of bark beetle.  The trees were very prevalent in Connecticut at one time.  In fact the city of New Haven is known as the Elm City.  Now a days, it's rare to find a mature elm tree.  This one is located on the property of the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, CT.
