Before The Game…
I had a little time before my daughters hockey game so I walked around and took these pictures.
Her game was held at the South Kent School in South Kent, CT.
The water was still and that gave me this picture.

A Hike Before The Rain
When I checked the weather this morning, it said a high in the 50’s with rain after 5pm. At the start of the hike it was 46 degrees and mostly sunny. As I made my way through the park, it got cloudier and cloudier, with rain falling on me for the last 25 minutes.
With that said, it was still a beautiful hike for the 24th of February. It could have easily been 20-25 degrees colder with some type of frozen precipitation either falling or on the ground.

During the summer this stream was dry, even after rain storms.

My favorite picture of the day!
Happy Hiking!!!

The First Hike Of 2018
My trusty companions!
With a starting temperature of 56 degrees at 7:30 this morning I made my way to Ward Pound Ridge for my first hike of the new year. With my daughters hockey schedule, weather concerns and no real daylight in the afternoon, hiking really hasn’t been a possibility. For several days now, we have known that today was going to be a warm one.
With that in mind, I knew that I had to get out!
With a new pair of boots that needed breaking in, I decided to keep the distance relatively short and the pace kind of slow. Needless to say, it was great to get out.

Happy Hiking!!!

Here are some photos of the roses that my daughter got from her boyfriend on Valentine’s Day.
The Next Day (in B & W)…
Another photo of the snow, this time in B & W with the sun coming up to the left.
The Next Day…
The same backyard as yesterday. The tree that was centered in the B & W photo is now to the right. What a difference a day makes! By Wednesday it will be in the 60’s.
Crazy, Crazy Weather
My backyard before a snowstorm this evening. Two days from now the temps will be in the 50’s. Crazy!
