Vacations Intro
Vacations with Hoang and Family 2001 Onward This page is a work in progress. I realize that Hoang and I are the only ones who look at these pictures but that's sort of the point. Just an organized place to keep our vacation memories together. We've had more fun than should be allowed... then we had kids and, … [Read more...]
Bobcats Kittens
The Best Bobcat Kittens, Windsor I've worked where I work for a few years now and have had the pleasure of seeing our mama bobcat a few times in the woods behind our parking lot. She's beautiful and regal and has let me approach within 10 feet of her. I love her. Someone else apparently loves her too, … [Read more...]
Shepaug Dam Bald Eagles
Dam! That's a Bald Eagle! Shepaug Dam Bald Eagle Observatory January 14, 2012 Hot dam! Who doesn't love seeing bald eagles? 1. People in Alaska where they've become a bit of a nuisance. 2. "Hot dam" makes no sense, because January 14, 2012 was single-digit cold with a biting and constant wind. After … [Read more...]
NNL: Beckley Bog
National Natural Landmark: Beckley Bog Norfolk Designation Date: 1977 I do not hesitate when asked what my favorite area of Connecticut is.

Dog, Bear, Dog Rocks (Winchester)
3 Animal Rocks in varying stages of decay Road around Highland Lake, Winsted/Winchester I see no need to separate these three rocks onto their own pages.

Pomperaug Trail
Pomp and CTMQstance Pomperaug Trail, 4.6 miles in Oxford and Southbury January 14 & September 16, 2012 As I sit to write this I see that I apparently struggled several months ago in figuring out how to present this section of mid-Housatonic River Trails. The CFPA Walk Books call them "Lake Zoar Area Trails," … [Read more...]

NHL: Fort Shantok Archaeological District
CT National Historic Landmark Fort Shantok Archaeological District Massapeag Side Road, Montville I must ask up front... Should this be also categorized as an outdoor museum? A few years ago when I was working on my giant museum list, I apparently thought so. Then I (finally) found the place, spent some time here … [Read more...]
221. Silpe Gallery (UHa)
Slip Silpin’ Away West Hartford (Google Maps location) October 4, 2011 Every time I visit an art gallery for CTMQ purposes, I promise myself to write about it before the exhibition ends. That way, the websites and materials available to help me write the story would still be accessible. (LOL, you didn't think it … [Read more...]
