Summer evening forest near Roaring Brook, Wolcott, Connecticut. June 25, 2020, 7:15 PM.

#hiking #photography #landscapephotography #hikingadventures #nature #Connecticut #summer #June #forest #sunshine #naturephotography #trails #summertime

An intensely green forest of tall trees surround a small clearing lushly carpeted with ferns. The late afternoon sun is low above the far horizon, shining through the leafy branches of the trees and casting long shadows across the ferns. Through the canopy there are glimpses of a soft blue sky.

Above a tangled cluster of vibrant green growth punctuated by large bright orange blossoms, a calm lake reflects a post sunset sky tinged with gold and pink with a few clouds drifting past. The far shore is wooded.

We are standing beside a large lake near five gray boulders partially submerged along or just off the shoreline. We are standing beneath trees, a couple of their leafy branches frame the top right and left of the pic. A leafy green shoot 2 or 3 feet tall frames the bottom right. The far lakeshore is also wooded. The sky is filled with clouds, which have been tinted bright pink and purple by the setting sun. The patches where sky is showing through the clouds are a very pale blue.

Looking out at a large lake from just above ground level at its shore through branches from leafy shrubs. Just offshore in the foreground water grasses and small leafy aquatic plants are growing above the surface. There are quite a few partially submerged rocks and tree branches also just offshore. The far shore is low and wooded. To our right, the sky is clouded over. The left side is clearing, colored gold and orange by the setting sun. That sky is mirrored on the lightly-rippled lake below.

Beneath a very pale blue sky about half filled with small puffy clouds, the sun has set behind a low wooded ridge across a large lake. Its rays are painting the bottoms of clouds near the horizon light yellow and pale pink. A rocky peninsula juts out into the lake from right to left in front of us, creating a small cove that mirrors the sky on its gently rippled surface. In the foreground are tall water grasses and leafy plants growing just offshore. A few trees and shrubs are growing along the top of the peninsula, the sides of which are mostly covered by dense leafy underbrush. Everything pictured except the sky and the lake are partially silhouetted in the evening light.

Standing next to a lake beneath a pale blue sky. There are many clouds moving in from the horizon, with a few clouds higher up, including some thin hazy clouds. The wooded far shore of the lake is silhouetted against the sun, with two low descending ridges meeting in a shallow V. The sun is shining through some of those thin hazy clouds as it approaches the treetops of the righthand ridge. Several branches of a submerged dead tree project above the lake surface not far offshore. The lake surface mirrors the sky and the two ridges. It is flat and calm except for dozens of small circular ripples created by a raindrops from a light shower.

A cloudless soft blue summertime sky. A tiny pond speckled with lily pads is surrounded by lush green wetlands, which in turn are surrounded by a forest of stately pines, hemlocks and hardwoods. Tall water grasses and leafy shrubs fill the marsh, creating a sunlit clearing in the forest.

As jigsaws go, this one was pretty straightforward, but enjoyable nonetheless. Always nice to have a puzzle from Aotearoa too. The crocheted rug on the couch resonates particularly to me.

My next puzzle will be more of a challenge - Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights!

Standing beside a pond, in front of a small opening in the lush forest that encircles it. A crevassed gray rock below has a few leafy shrubs growing through its cracks. The sun is set behind a low ridge running along the far shore, casting a bright yellow glow in the sky above, tinting the hazy clouds around it pink and peach tones. This is mirrored on the very lightly rippled waters below.

Hundreds of tiny yellow flowers in the (not grass) green ground cover. New Britain Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. August 3, 2020, 6:56 PM. All the ground in this pic where trees are not growing is lakebed for most of the year. The lush green ground cover is a leafy plant that only resembles grass when seen from a distance.

We are hiking along the shore of a lake. The ground is covered with low, leafy green plants that resemble grass when seen from a distance. Hundreds of little yellow flowers poke through that greenery. A leafy bush rises from the ground cover to our right. A thin line of trees grow from a slightly higher ridge ahead that culminates in a rocky point jutting into the lake. A lower rocky point is nearby. Forest surrounds the far shore, bordering another strip of green ground cover along the lake. The deep blue sky is being overrun with streaky, hazy clouds coming in from our left, tinted pale yellow and pale gold near the horizon.

We are standing in a very green bog surrounding the slow moving inlet stream of a large lake in the background. The sun has set and much of the sky is tinted pink, reflected in the lake and stream below. The lake and bog are surrounded by forest. The bog is covered with lush green grasses, a few gray boulders and many tall water grasses and leafy shrubs. A line of clouds just along the far horizon is tinted slightly blue. Some scattered clouds in the mostly clear sky above are tinted pink.

In the deepening twilight of post sunset, we are standing beside a large lake, looking over a tangled thicket of leafy plants and wildflowers. Both this shore and the wooded far shore are mostly silhouetted in the fading light. Beneath a pale blue gray sky, the lingering gold and orange of the sunset tint the horizon and are mirrored on the slightly rippled water below.

She is on a soft spot covered with grass and evergreen needles atop a large gray rock outcrop. Beside her are the leafy shrubs and saplings providing her shade. Behind her we can see the lake, rippled by a good fresh breeze and speckled with a few lily pads. Its far shore is sun-dappled forest with a large patch of tall water grasses just offshore to our right.

We are standing atop a small hill, looking over the treetops across a bay of a large lake surrounded by forests. A breeze is creating small waves on the lake surface. The sky is a deep blue with billowing shite clouds. Strong winds at the cloud level are tearing those clouds to shreds, sending wispy streamers far out ahead of the clouds.

We are walking down a dirt and gravel path, a large lake to our right, a forest to our left. Both grassy shoulders of the path slope downward several feet and are overgrown with tall weeds, leafy shrubs and occasional white wildflowers. A wooden bench to our left is almost engulfed. The far shore of the lake is wooded. Although the lake is only gently rippled by a soft breeze, dark and dramatic clouds are streaming past at low levels beneath a high hazy overcast. The rays of the setting sun are breaking through in a few spots, painting some of the clouds orange and gold.

Crooked tree, marsh, forest and beaver pond at golden hour, Marino Pond, Plymouth, Connecticut. September 9, 2019, 6:04 PM.

#hiking #photography #landscapephotography #hikingadventures #nature #Connecticut #summer #September #forest #outdoors #pond #naturephotography #trails #goldenhour #summertime

A large cluster of clouds is drifting across a soft blue evening sky. Left foreground: a crooked narrow tree trunk covered with patches of light green fungus. We are standing beside this tree at the edge of a marshy area covered with tall golden brown water grasses along the shore of a pond. A similar marsh abuts the far shore. A shady forest begins where that marsh ends. The pond itself is covered with hundreds of lily pads. The late day sun is casting a soft golden light on much of the scene. The crooked tree and near shore are in shade.

A little sweet whimsy on a super hot day! It was 99 a few hours ago with a "feels like" of 114. I do wonder how the birds survive this heat when we have to go out every 2 hours with ice and mist to keep our chickens alive.

When a man and a woman stand side by side, two equals with shared lives and goals, they accomplish tremendous things together. And that is the way that it should most joyfully be!

Art print of an original oil painting by Steve Henderson depicting a couple, hugging, on the beach on a silvery grey day. The man is on the left, the woman on the right. The man's pants are rolled up to his knees and the woman is wearing a white dress and holding a parasol. They are both standing at barefoot at the edge of the surf and are looking out into the expanse of sea.

Smudges of gold and rippling waters sunset, version 2. Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. June 20, 2020, 8:38 PM. This view just relaxes me.

#hiking #photography #landscapephotography #hikingadventures #nature #Connecticut #summer #June #forest #sunset #sunsets #sunsetphotography #trails #lake #summertime

Laying beside a large lake looking out from ground level through nearby shallows filled with partially submerged rocks and water grasses. A leafy shrub frames the scene on top and to our left. A fresh summer breeze is rippling the waters. The pale blue evening sky is filled with long hazy gray clouds. The clouds are smeared with bright gold and orange from the recent sunset. Many of the ripples on the lake below are catching those colors.

Thunderous evening. Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. September 6, 2018, 5:04 PM. Looks like I picked a bad time to be atop a mountain.

Standing beneath a large pine tree atop a mountain, looking across a valley that is mostly silhouetted in the dim light of an approaching storm. Dark clouds are building up above us, with just a small break lower right where some sun rays are shining through.

Deep blue twilight sunset. Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. August 27, 2019, 8:00 PM. My favorite sunsets linger on into the twilight.

Walking a footpath beside a lake in the twilight. A tree overhangs the path to our right. The far shore is wooded. The sky is a deep blue, with darker navy blue clouds. Many of the clouds are streaked with pink from the recent sunset. The horizon is a pale orange. The sky is mirrored on the gently rippled lake below.

Bats are out too.

Cotton candy sunset. New Britain Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. September 8, 2020, 7:19 PM.

An overgrown field at the edge of the forest, filled with very tall grasses and leafy shrubs sprinkled with dozens of yellow and white wildflowers. It is a bit past sunset, the forest is dark and mysterious in the evening light. The pale blue sky is filled with a dramatic mass of cotton candy clouds painted bright pink by that setting sun.

A pale blue gray evening sky with long gray clouds near the horizon The sun is setting behind a blanket of rather thick haze, making it appear to be a gigantic golden disc just above a line of trees. We are walking a dirt and gravel path beside a small, scrub-covered knoll to our right with a grassy strip near the road. To our left is a thicket of tall weeds and dark pink wildflowers and then a tree.

#hiking #photography #landscapephotography #hikingadventures #nature #Connecticut #summer #June #forest #sunset #sunsets #sunsetphotography #trails #lake #summertime

We are standing beside a large lake, very lightly rippled by a soft breeze. There is considerable cloudiness, with a break along the far horizon. The sun has set a while ago, but is still tinting the horizon a deep red orange and the clouds above it a purple shade muted with gray. All this is mirrored on the lake surface. The far shore of the lake is densely wooded. The shore just in front of us is a tangle of leafy green underbrush and tall grasses. A tree frames the image on the right.

No words. Except a bare description: a copse in a green field, the sun behind and up high in a summer sky. Late afternoon on Skye.

Great is the sun, and wide he goes Through empty heaven with repose; And in the blue and glowing days More thick than rain he showers his rays. From ‘Summer Sun’ by Robert Louis Stevenson

45 minutes of paddling, 45 minutes of laying on the beach and eating ice cream. That still counts as exercise, right?
