Dam, Yo! West River Fishway Behind a Walgreens on Whalley Ave, New Haven In 2015, the dam and fishway were removed - which is a good thing! Fish now have a direct path to get to where they're going. The fish ladder was moved to another river in Connecticut. This is still an interesting story, so I'm not deleting … [Read more...]

Hilltop Farm
To Top off Vacation Week Hilltop Farm, Suffield September 2010 Arrgh! This is (yet another) one of the pages on this website that make me crazy when it comes to placement. It’s not a museum, but it’s so much more than a farm and has such an interesting history – and future potential – that its borderline. This … [Read more...]
Days 1-3: Rhode Island 2010
Crazy ol' Rhode Island August 28-30, 2010 I don't even have any pictures of the 29th and can only assume we did nothing but lounge around and go to the beach all day.

Griffin Farmstead
I Wonder What Gryphon Milk is Like Griffin Farmstead, East Granby June 4, 2011 Talk about confusing. The one thing I’m sure of is that this place is indeed called Griffin Farmstead. And I know the retail area is on Copper Hill Road across from the Griffin Road intersection. And I assume that Griffin Road is named … [Read more...]
Sparky the Dog Rock
Big Dog "Sparky" Memorial, Montville If you look closely, you can see Hoang sitting next to this massive mural of "Sparky" who, according to the dates on his collar, lived from 1975-1984. That's a big dog rock. Okay, it's not the classic roadside profile-view animals that I've been collecting pictures of, … [Read more...]
Ring-Necked Pheasant
A Right Pleasant Pheasant Windsor Multiple Sightings Okay, so a ring-necked pheasant isn’t the most exciting thing to see. But to be able to walk right up to one is pretty darn cool. They really are beautiful birds. Interesting pheasant note: I take a walk whenever I can during lunch at work. I work next to … [Read more...]
Bears! In the Wild
This page has become sort of ridiculous, now that we have bears in our yard and neighborhood fairly frequently. But hey, it’s still different when I see them out on a hike, right? Right. Suffield Land Conservancy (SLC): Sydney F. Fuller Wildlife Preserve November 2017 I came across a mom and her two cubs... … [Read more...]
Fidelco Guide Dogs
Fidelco Guide Dogs/Kaman Company Bloomfield April 16, 2011 Another cold and dreary spring weekend here in Connecticut with a bored special needs five-year-old, who NEEDS to get out and about or we ALL go crazy.
