WARREN CONNECTICUT – Our travel from Quito finally ended this morning after an all night flight with a layover in Miami. I managed to keep a lunch date with my son, and I managed to stay awake during the drive to Warren to arrive in time for dinner with some old friends.
Here is the sign for our house that we put out on Rabbit Hill Road after a number of guests were unable to find us. We used the wild turkey theme because . . . well we have a lot of wild turkeys.

WARREN, CONNECTICUT – Perennial boarder. We bought our house in Warren in 1987. It was a split level ranch on a cornfield. We’ve added bits and pieces to the landscape over the years – it’s a delight that our efforts finally look like mature landscape.. It would be an exaggeration to say that we’ve had a master plan, but we have pursued a general direction, leaning toward the use of native plants in naturalized settings. We’ve planted one perennial boarder, however, that’s an exception.

WARREN, CONNECTICUT – We spent most of the day in Woodbury Connecticut fighting local traffic and running from one antique store to the next. Not a lot of terrific photo opportunities – the bright overcast produced flat, unattractive, light. We returned to Warren in the late afternoon and I captured this of a bush rose.

NEW PRESTON, CONNECTICUT – There are two Congregational Church buildings in New Preston. Â For most of the year the congregation meets in a lovely classical New England structure on a hill near the center of the village, which I photographed at sunrise on November 7, 2009. Â Here’s a link: New Preston Church During the summer months the congregation meets in a stone building a few miles away.

ROUTE 202 IN NEW MILFORD, CONNECTICUT – Farmstand. Â This was late in the day; I slept poorly the night before so I lost the morning light.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Up early for a lovely sunrise.  We’ve controlled the underbrush in a wooded area to create a park-like setting.  The over-the-top colors are  . . . well . . . what it looked like.  Image taken with a Leica M9 and 24mm Summilux – three images stitched.
