It was a welcome break in the weather Sunday so I decided to take a road trip down to Essex, Connecticut, to see if I could find some Eagles. Well known for it's Eagle Festival, and Eagle Watch boat tours, the open water of the Connecticut River around Essex is a great place to see if you can spot our national bird and symbol of the United States. After scanning the … [Read more...]

I hate ice! Except for when they are in a nice beverage. I have always hated ice. My mother tried to make me ice skate. Sorry mom, after 50 years, I still can't ice skate. My brother took my ice fishing. He caught all the fish. My roof and gutters are filled with ice. It's even making icicles 8 feet tall and reaching the ground.  I think that's the only reason that the … [Read more...]

I was covering our latest snowstorm for work a couple of days ago, this time along the shoreline of Connecticut. A quick "high impact" storm to say the least, but it still managed to "dump on us" a lot more aggravation for this winter.

It has only been a few days since the record setting snow storm buffeted Connecticut, setting new snowfall totals that reached well over 20 inches.

Lately, I have been having some good luck imaging our close neighbor, the moon. Now I wanted a challange to see what I could do with some close up details of lunar features. I have always looked and the the moon with awe, but … [Read more...]

It was a perfect night to go out and capture a magnificent two day old cresent moon setting in the west. Clear, dry, almost cloudless skies lured me outside into 20 degree temps to start my astro imaging for 2011. I am sure glad I did!   Here is a colorful wide angle image of the setting moon, within an hour after the sun had set. And now a closer look at two day old … [Read more...]

After driving up and down I-91 almost every other day and noticing bright reflections coming from atop a hill in Hamden, I finally decided to take a road trip over the weekend to check out what I was seeing. Little did I know that a wonderful surprise awaited me atop Quinnipiac University's 250 acre York Hill Campus, located at 305 Sherman Ave in Hamden. At the highest … [Read more...]
