I was driving home today thinking to myself that its a shame that I can't drive and take pictures at the same time.  I turned off the radio and was watching the different directions the sun was going.  One minute it was blinding me, the next it was on the side of me and then behind me causing the most beautiful reflections.  This is the type of thing that we don't take notice of on a daily basis as we are going from one place to another.  We tend to be too busy to notice everyday beautiful things, that yes, we all take for granted.  I guess today was my day to see how beautiful the sun is.  I saw the sun reflect off foliage, cars, water and finally set.  Take a few minutes one day on your drive home from work or wherever you may be coming or going, turn off your radio, clear your mind and just look around you.  The birds will be louder than you've ever heard them, the sun will be twice as bright and I guarantee you will see or notice something that has always been there but

Hello Everyone, Last weekend I took a trip to Portland and photographed the Arrigoni Bridge, more popularly known as the Portland Bridge, which connects Portland and Middletown over the Connecticut River.  The bridge was named after state legislator Charles J. Arrigoni and is the longest bridge in Connecticut.

The Ruins of the Stocking Mill in Cotton Hollow in Glastonbury, CT. The mill supplied gunpowder to George Washington's Continental Army during the Revolutionary War and was one of four gunpowder mills in New England. The mill was owned and operated by George Stocking and his three sons. However, in 1777 there was an explosion and the mill was destroyed. George, two of his sons, and two workers were killed. His wife, Eunice, rebuilt the mill and continued supplying gunpowder until the end of the Revolutionary War. This is what remains of the rebuilt mill.  The first picture is a close up of the remaining structure.  The second picture is what can be seen as you are approaching the remains from the trail.
