"T Stands For Teddy On Saugatuck Trail Bridge" - Photograph

(Click on image to enlarge)

I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for this week's T Stands For challenge found here.

This is my summation of the past week:

Teddy will be serving double duty as my main image plus as my "T-Day ticket" for my T-Day posts.

Teddy is posing on the Saugatuck Trail bridge during a recent brief walk there.

We also went walking at the reservoir, where the water remains low due to drought conditions here in Connecticut. (United States Drought Monitor - Connecticut)

I also took some photos of my cat, and deer that roamed through my yard.

This week I have the honor of hosting Sunday Postcard Art, and I chose the challenge theme "Pirates."

In weather news, we had some very scary sustained high winds during a storm that came through Sunday night (November 15, 2020). Shortly after 8pm, my electricity went off, so I didn't know that around 8:30pm, they issued a Tornado Warning for my area of Connecticut. The sound of the wind was similar to the Tropical Storm that came through this area in August and knocked down five trees in my yard. Thankfully this time I was spared that sort of damage, unlike other places in this area. News stories:

Strong winds, heavy rain, tornado warning knocks out power for more than 18K in CT

Fairfield Metro Conservation Area - Photograph

(Click on image to enlarge)

I took these photographs at the Fairfield Metro Conservation Area in Fairfield, CT this past week.

I discovered this little gem of a waterfowl viewing area by accident. The trail here provides nice views of birds nesting and swimming in this section of Ash Creek, and is located across from the Fairfield Metro Train Station.

I saw a Great Blue Heron, Mergansers, Ducks, and Canadian Geese here, as well as small foraging birds. Unfortunately, I also saw graffiti.

Two of its three access points are located as follows:

Ash Creek Blvd
41.159360, -73.233465

Kenard St Parking

Bridge and Waterside Trail - Photograph

(Click on image to enlarge)

This is 2 of 3 posts of photographs that I took on a second trip to one of the north trails off Rock House Rd in Easton, CT. This trail is part of the Centennial Watershed State Forest Aspetuck Trail. The official trail map must be carried as one's permit for access to the area.

With regard to why a permit is needed on these particular hiking trails: they are on land that the public water supply flows through. So they have rules for what you can and can't do there, and if you get caught in there without a permit (which is the trail map), you can be fined / arrested.

This north trail has a hidden gem on it only about 15 minutes walk north of the road: a stone wall dam / waterfall! The trail also parallels the water, which makes for a tranquil, enjoyable setting.
