Schaghticoke Ridge, Kent, Connecticut. I caught Dave using his Canon G11 to get a closeup of a colorful luna moth caterpillar. What a beautiful animal. We picked it up and moved it off the trail so it wouldn’t get stomped on.

The western slope of Brace drops off steeply and there are usually thermals right out in front of it. Landing zone in a cornfield below. A paraglider has just gone [...]

This field and these hills are coming to life so fast they seem to have changed colors in just a few days. Of course with the march toward summer comes the march of insects in New England. I guess it’s worth [...]

For many years I had and used a Lowepro MiniTrekker AW (pictured here) which is no longer made. Fully loaded with my gear the pack weighed upwards of 20 pounds or more and it was hell to [...]

Pine Swamp through the trees West Cornwall, Connecticut, March 7, 2010. Looking east. Approaching Pine Swamp from a hut on a blue side trail off the Appalachian Trail. From here it doesn’t look like much but generations of beavers have turned a stream and swamp into a pond with multiple dams, an enormous house/den, and [...]

Washington, Connecticut. At the start of a short winter hike up to the Pinnacle Dave and I got distracted by Queen Anne’s lace with snow cones on them. Note: I’m behind in my uploading, this was taken January 31st of this year. The flip out LCD on the G11 meant that Dave probably didn’t have [...]
