Straight out of the camera

Took a short walk with a friend this morning. We should do that every morning! Anyhow, this is what I saw along the way.
Looks bucolic, doesn't it? Well it isn't! haha

It's located directly under a highway bridge that spans the Housatonic River between Derby and Shelton, Ct.
It's pretty but it's also kinda noisy around there.

Just ducky '>

What a life, just quacking away. I took these photos while doing a story about a 22-foot wooden power boat a California couple launched last Thursday for a "cruise" from Connecticut to Florida. They may even venture as far as Galveston.
I posted that story here.

Have a Quacky Wednesday all!

Sailing, sailing (not me, but some brave folks are!)

Last Thursday afternoon Ralph accompanied me on a fun story that was published Friday. It's about a husband and wife from California who are off on an adventure in a power boat he built a few years ago. They left from Shelton, Ct., headed to Florida.
The story was published Friday and I thought I would link "Coast couple launches sea adventure" here, since I am fresh out of blog ideas right now. The photo below, taken by my co-worker, Melanie, accompanied the story. She's a great photographer.

I've been getting two children ready to go off to college and my mother ready to move into her new condo, all in the same week.
I'm not doing all that much, but I have made myself "available" to them. I took the week off so maybe I can help somebody with something.

Another view of the bridge

Last Tuesday I posted a photo of this old steel span I snapped last September. When we were out this afternoon I took a photo of it from a different angle, as we were waiting at the light on another bridge.

Not too exciting, but I wanted to post something today.
