Fort Hill Farm

In Thompson, CT there is a lovely farm that raises Lavender in a Stonewall Old Barn cellar hole garden pictured at the left. THey also feature a large cornfield maze, their own ice creams including their special Lavender topping. There are dairy cows and a horse and Guinea Fowl and many other great sights. My gallery, linked at the title, above, includes a number of HDR images I took there recently.

The Love Dogs

This year's Jazz @ Sunset at the EcoTarium opened with The Love Dogs. Nice sunny evening, but it was in the tent, anyhow, because of storms earlier in the day. Pictured we have Glenn Shambroom and Myanna with Steve Brown in the background. More in the Gallery.

Flamingo Gardens

While in Fort Lauderdale we also took in Flamingo Gardens. Many interesting flora and fauna, i.e. birds, reptiles and animals of the Everglades captive and wild complete with a Trolly tour of the grounds and Animal Encounters with an Educator. Well worth the admission fee.

As usual, click on the post title to go to this new Gallery.

Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge

From a recent trip Leona and I made to Florida here are some images of the wildlife I spotted at Loxahatchee NWR which is a reclaimed farm section bordering the Everglades. A great place to shoot, even in the heat of the early afternoon.
