Indian Rock Punkup Road, Oxford I have no recollection as to how I became aware of this roadside rock. It could have been a comment or an email or even a passing conversation with someone.

376. The Monastery Gallery of Art
Oh, Brother Farmington, (Google Maps location) March 18, 2018 There’s a lot going on here. Here at the Holy Family Retreat and Conference Center, here in the woods nearby, and heck, here in Farmington. Of Connecticut’s 169 towns, I’m submitting Farmington as one of the top 5 with the most... interesting things … [Read more...]
Art Tunnel
The Mural of the Story Art Tunnel Farmington River Trail, Farmington Can you believe that I’ve never used that pun for a title before? I can’t. Can you believe that I’m far more interested in the two trails in the woods on either side of this tunnel than the Farmington River Trail that this tunnel is for? I … [Read more...]
243. The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum
Contemporaneous Contemporaneousness Ridgefield (Google Maps location) November 9, 2012 You may find it difficult to believe, but the Aldrich is probably in my top 15 or 20 favorite museums in Connecticut.

353. Kouros Sculpture Center
Rain Sculpted Ridgefield (Google Maps location) May 25, 2017 One of my favorite sub-sub categories of museums is outdoor sculpture gardens.

Paper Airplane #2
Air Putnam Paper Airplane #2, by Jean-Paul Jacquet Putnam, Ct It isn’t often that I dedicate a full page to a “giant goofy thing.” If you are somehow not aware, I have a collection of giant goofy things on this here website. So why have I decided to give this fiberglass “paper” airplane in a tree in Putnam … [Read more...]
351. Lance Arnold Gallery & Fairy Trail
Flotsam and GetSum Ashford/Willington (Google Maps Location) May 21, 2017 For those of you unaware who may happen to care, there's a CTMQ facebook page.

340. Dehn Gallery
DEHN-DEH-DEHHHHHNNNN! Manchester (Google Maps location) December 10, 2016 Upon reflection, I should have saved the Dehn Gallery on Manchester's suddenly modestly Main Street until last.
