Nature walk-Cotton Hollow Preserve-Glastonbury-CT

My friend and I went for a hike at Cotton Hollow Preserve in Glastonbury, CT, Thursday morning.  I’m always amazed when I come across places like this, practically in my back yard. I first went here with my kids a couple years ago, but we entered the trail from another location. I had no idea there was another entrance. I think we walked a mile in, but in that short distance we came across an abandoned shell of what I assume was an old mill. There were some well constructed bridges and a nice group of walking sticks for the taking if needed. I thought this was very thoughtful. My kids would have had a field day with those. The leaves have just begun to change, so I think I’ll have to return in the next couple of weeks and see if I can get some more Fall color. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Fine Art Friday! ( I just made that up)

I have a FOMO complex when it comes to photography. I fear if I leave my camera behind I will miss the shot of my life. Unfortunately, I leave behind my camera more than I’d like, but for good reason. I have 2 beautiful kids and I want to share, experience and live their childhood and not just be recording it through the lense. Don’t get me wrong I take plenty of photos, but I decided a long time ago I had to have some separation of “work” and “Life.”  That’s why I’m eager to get my hands on a point and shoot. I have my eye on a couple of these retro looking mirrorless ones. Not exactly point and shoot, but much lighter and easier to handle than my Nikon.

Where was I going with this? Oh Yeah! FOMO. I took these photos while on vacation with my family, and I’m really glad I had my “good” camera with me, so I could get closeup to these beautiful creatures and their amazing Horns they carry around with them everyday. Impressive for sure. So I played around and decided black and white would spotlight this particular natural wonder.  They’ll be printed using archival quality paper and inks with prices starting at $50 for 8×10.  Also, there is a watermark on them that will be removed for printing. A link where you can purchase them will be uploaded soon. If you have questions before then, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.

Enjoy the weekend!
