At Last!!

Hi Everyone!

Is it true?  Has Spring finally made its arrival?  It appears it has....Saturdays's high was 78 and I don't know about you but I enjoyed every minute of it!  

It was good to see everyone out and about, laughing, playing, and walking their dogs.....





Spending quality time with a loved one.....always make the time :)
















Catching up with friends....when you really stop to think about it, how often were you able to get out and visit family and friends?  Hopefully, everyone got out yesterday and took advantage of the weather.  These two shared some girl chat for awhile, which is always fun.








Fishing time!  Grab your poles, a few friends and make a day of it.














Last, but not least, is my favorite shot......nature at its very best.  As photographers, we all have our own certain "style" but we also have things we need to improve on.  We learn new things all the time. None of us does a perfect shot every time and we certainly aren't able to shoot everything as many often believe whether because its an area of weakness or because we simply don't have an interest in the subject, making it difficult to shoot.  For me, working with water has been an area of weakness so this shot holds a special meaning and I am pleased to share it with you.  This shot signifies my growth.


Til next time!

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

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
