I took those photographs at Aspetuck Park in Easton, CT this past week. Parts of the park were flooded due to the 1.5"+ of rain that fell in this area. Normally, the base of the wood platform (third photo) is visible, as can be seen here. Although it's hard to tell in the second photo, the water was level with, and went around, that side of the bridge. The leaf debris on the bridge shows the water had been higher than that, at the height of the storm.

I thought the trees had a stark, spooky look to them. There were also black leaves on the ground nearby. The area looked peaceful and beautiful.

And just like that, most of the leaves on the trees and bushes burst open in brilliant green. Unlike the Dogwood tree flowers, the green tree leaves are about on schedule for when they normally leaf out here. The beauty of all of this green everywhere is stunning, as it is every year, after Winter's barren look.

The older I get, the less I like Winter, however, each season in New England does have its unique beauty.

This is 4 of 5 posts of photographs that I took at the Grace Richardson Conservation Area, in Fairfield, CT this past week. The trail map is here.

This is a very nice wooded hiking area with a stream running through it. Unfortunately, deviants have decided to use it as a hook up location. In mid-August, police arrested six people here after conducting surveillance after receiving complaints of "lewd and sexual activity" in this open space area. Two of the people say they are innocent.
