Hi Everyone, I woke up the other morning and got a good realization that summer is really gone.  Lately as I've been out and notice the leaves beginning to change, I remember how beautiful the fall really is.  I'm not fond of the cold by any means but I can't hide the fact that I do enjoy the beauty of the seasons changing.  As a kid, summer was always my favorite because I loved the heat, the sun and all the things I could get into.  Summer symbolized school vacation and what seemed like many lazy days ahead.  It meant getting up early, riding my bike all day, hanging out with friends and only stopping at home to eat.  As a small child, time was never ending.....not flying by as it does when you get older, lol.  Even though I didn't care for colder weather, I often enjoyed little perks such as drinking hot chocolate with marshmellows and hot cider with cinnamon sticks.  I may not have been outside as much as other children in the neighborhood...

Hi Everyone,  I found another old factory in Rockville.   Its an old sweater mill that was started in 1941 by three partners who pooled $500 together, purchased machinery and opened a knitting mill in Manchester under the name of Manchester Knitting Mills.  In 1951, the company moved to Rockville to expand and settled in the first floor of what was then known as the Minterburn Mill that was vacant due to the demise of the woolen industry.   In 1968, the company purchased the building, became the Roosevelt Mill, and went on to produce 12,000 sweaters per week at peak production.  Sales were made to major retailers such as JC Penney and Montgomery Ward.  The company remained fully operational until 1986, when it was sold to a new owner who did not share the same passion for operating a manufacturing company.  Ultimately the mill closed its doors in 1988 and remains vacant to this day. As I was photographing this building, a driver stopp...

Hi Everyone, I can't believe its the end of summer and the kids are back in school!  Time flies when you're having fun :)  Its been a very busy last couple of weeks for myself.  My son just started high school and I've been trying to get a lot in for the end of the summer.  Last weekend I was at Southford Falls in Southbury, CT. I must tell you that I didn't photograph any of the falls because unfortunately its been pretty dry so there wasn't much flowing water.  But, to my great surprise, as I was walking the trails I came across a covered bridge!  As most know about me, I LOVE covered bridges....so I was like a little kid when I saw it.  Take a look.... I had no idea the bridge was there until I saw it from an opening in the path.  There is also a trail that leads to it so..... Inside the bridge I went, lol.  There were a few people that were there because you can fish for trout from the bridge as well.  A few kids...
