Warm Thoughts

Brrrr.....by now I think we must all be ready for the warmer weather.  Its been unbearably cold and I hope everyone is home and warm. 

I want to share some of my older pictures that I've taken in the warmer weather to help get your minds off of how cold it is.  These photos are also things that I'm looking forward to in the Spring and Summer.  Summer is by far my favorite season....my mind goes crazy with ideas and I'm always out with the camera.  The days are longer, there are beautiful sunsets and more people are out and about. For me, its like "What to shoot next?" lol.   So here are a few photos that will give you an idea of what I do in the warmer weather.


Something I love to do is go camping in Rhode Island and I go just about every summer... this place is known as Dutch Point Island.  Its a little island that is located right off of Jamestown.  Its close enough to Jamestown that you can canoe to it, however the water is rather choppy, so that's not something I have dared to venture yet, lol.



These shots were taken during a soccer game for 5 and 6 year olds. Its great when the weather is clear and warm out.  On this particular day, I was practicing motion shots.  My beautiful niece is always a pleasure for me to photograph. You may have seen her on my website. :)



 These were taken in Maine this past July.  I spent 3 glorious days on the beach.  The weather was extremely hot, which I was very surprised at because I figured for sure I was going to get some sort of reprieve from the heat wave happening at home.  However, it was about 100 degrees each day.  The beach was packed.  When I wasn't in the water myself, I took lots of candid shots such as these. Many people were riding the waves.  The little girl had run away from her dad and was trying to catch a wave herself, she was adorable.

I have just heard we can expect to see 50 degree weather this weekend.  Yay!!!  It will feel like 70 to us after the negative figures we've been getting.  It may rain too but I'll take that any day over the frigid temps.  It also means I will be out and about so if you see me feel free to say hi!

Til next time,
K

Rockville, Connecticut: The Hockanum Mills

Image
Hi Everyone, It looks like the warmer weather is finally upon us!  That being said, I’ve been out and about seeing people and things, lol.  Which brings me to the Town of Rockville……have you been there lately?  It’s one of those little towns that I think gets overlooked.  It’s a small section of Vernon and appears a bit run down but you have to look beyond that.  There is a lot of construction going on there presently so its an up and coming town.  Rockville has quite a bit of interesting history to it. The downtown section has e a few older, beautiful structures on the main street but what caught my eye was the Hockanum Mills.  I like where it’s situated.  The mill is located on an uphill bend and when you are standing at the top, the view gives the impression of a once prominent mill overlooking the town.   These are photos of the mill at the top of the hill with its name facing the town: This is the part I really enjoy ….often I start poking around for different an

The Anamet Complex, Waterbury, CT

Image
Hi Everyone! Its been awhile....I've been working on various projects, always learning new things and growing! I visited the abandoned Anamet Complex in Waterbury.  As many of you know, I love to go check out older, abandoned places or buildings.  Waterbury is quite interesting to me because there is a lot of history in the huge city known for its now defunct brass industry.  Many buildings are being demolished and/or redeveloped so I hope to get many photos of the city's history before its lost. The Anamet Complex is located in the south end of Waterbury on South Main Street and runs along the Naugatuck River.  The complex was founded in 1908 and was the home of Anaconda Metal Hose by American Brass.  It became the biggest manufacturer of metal hose in the world, spanning 400,000 square footing along 17 acres on South Main Street, employing hundreds.  The company went bankrupt in 1998 and the complex continues to sit, abandoned.  The land is also contaminated with i

The Pequabuck Tunnel

Image
Hi Everyone! I'm starting the season off with my trip to the Pequabuck Tunnel aka Terryville Tunnel and the Mile Long Tunnel located in Plymouth.  I heard about the tunnel last summer while visiting Horseshoe Falls which isn't too far away.  It took awhile to find this tunnel because it's just one of those things that is right under your nose if you look hard enough.  Every video I watched didn't specify a location.  I didn't video this trip but I did take pictures. The tunnel is still operational and is located just off Tunnel Road in Plymouth.  The tunnel was completed in 1910 and the year is marked at the top of the entrance.   Freight trains running between New Britain and Waterbury still use it.   It's not easy to find, and you may find yourself driving in circles until you do find it.  There is a small clearing on Tunnel Road that will take you to a trail which leads down to it.  There are many stories about the tunnel being haunted.  Would I go down t
