Snow Day

Today we were visited by the storm that has been moving across the country for the past several days.  At one point we were to have little impact from the storm.  While we were spared the worst of it, and it in no way measured up to the one last month, we did receive a fair amount of heavy, wet snow.

So, naturally, out I went!

Above is Young's Pond in Branford, CT.  Until recently, the pond had been completely covered by ice.
 

This is the spillway at Messerschmidt Pond in Deep River, CT.  What caught my eye were the patterns and textures set up when the water hits the slope of the spillway.

This is a pond above an old sawmill on Jarvis Creek in Branford, CT.

Above is Grass Island, Guilford, CT.  We frequently spot Bald Eagles in the trees on Grass Island.   We suspect the two regulars are a nesting pair, with the nest nearby.  The "cottage" has been unoccupied for many, many years, with only the shell remaining.  Still, it has withstood all manner of hurricanes, nor'easters and the like.

I titled this one simply "No Golf Today."

Reminder:  You can click on any of the images and view all of them in a larger format.  This is especially recommended for "Grass Island" above.
