Eastern Landscapes

snapapple

I am posting some landscapes that I took in Connecticut during my Thanksgiving trip. We visited our son who lives in New Canaan. For all of you Easterners this will be be boring stuff so you can skim or skip it. :wink However, for a native Californian, like me, this is exciting stuff. REAL TREES!! Southern California is a desert so we don't have trees and ponds. We don't even have winter. So here they are. Hope you like them.

Nice Snappy, I especially like the 1st one with the path and the bench. Hope you enjoyed your trip to this neck of the woods!

Thanks DJ
I did enjoy my trip. I didn't have to cook the turkey this year. Where abouts do you live?

It seems that all my CT shots are winter. My last trip was last Christmas. I was there the previous March and got a couple of snow shots. I need to get back there when the trees are green, for a little variety.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Even though you live in the East.

Nice shots. I grew up in Connecticut so these scenes look very familiar.

I live in Rhode Island, about 2 hours further east. But New England's all one big neighborhood, you know!

Looking at this, I realize that the houses would not be visible at all if there were leaves on the trees. I actually love to look at the New England style houses, but these scenes would seem so remote in the summer with no houses in view.:D

Thanks for the compliment, Doug. I believe you still live on the east coast, if I'm not mistaken, so I appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to comment. You probably can't understand how excited I get by the Eastern landscape. My family thinks I'm nuts when I run to the window exclaiming, "There's a deer on the lawn!" Or when I grab my camera just to take a walk around the neighborhood and take pictures of all the beautiful houses. (I wonder what the neighbors think.) And the grandkids really think I'm strange when I run to the window squeeling, "It's *snowing*!" They have to go to school in the stuff!

Thanks for stopping by. Next time I'm in the neighborhood I'll have to look you up.

I've never been to Rhode Island. I assume it's really beautiful there too. I just love how *green* it is in New England. Thanks for stopping by and chatting.

Last of the Ponds
Well, this is the last of my pondscapes. Hope I didn't bore you to death. I'll have to frame them and hang one in every room. Then I'll have to return in the Spring to take them all again. Can't wait.
