Ledyard Photo Friday

This week was one of sadness as vigils were held in towns throughout Connecticut. This morning at 9:30, churches around the nation will ring their bells 26 times in memory of the victims. The photo below was taken Saturday evening prior to the start of the vigil at the Ledyard Congregational Church.

Photo Friday - The Bald Eagle

I wish I could say that today’s Photo Friday was shot in Ledyard. My friend Ray Chicoine had the honor of photographing this bald eagle as it was perched in a tree in his yard near Coventry Lake. I am very jealous.  The opportunity to see a bald eagle doesn’t happen often enough.

Ledyard Photo Friday -The Mailbox Series

I took a photo of this mailbox on Lambtown Road in Ledyard several years ago but heard it had been embellished since then. It certainly is better than ever and worth another shot!

Ledyard Photo Friday - Shadow is home

Shadow is home after being on the run for over 8 weeks including the time during Hurricane Sandy. Let's credit Ledyard Animal Control and the whole online community for not giving up!!

Ledyard Photo Friday - The Dow Tree

I drove by Dow Chemical on Route 12 in Gales Ferry yesterday and was reminded how spectacular their trees look this time of year. I hoped to go back today and shoot a photo but it turned out to be a rainy day. I went back to the archives for the photo below.

Ledyard Photo Friday - Calendar Contest

I’m happy to report that with over 400 entries, I was a winner in the New London Day 2013 Calendar Contest. I’m Miss November to be exact!  My regular readers have seen this winning photo in the past. I have always said it was my best shot at the 16th hole on the South Course at Lake of Isles.

Ledyard Photo Friday - Holmberg Orchards

Somebody at Holmberg Orchards in Ledyard definitely has a sense of humor.

Photo Friday - Just a Cow

Every once in a while, some of my very nice seller clients send me photos to help in the marketing of their home.  I recently listed a lovely home in Preston with a seller that has a good eye with the camera. While the western sunsets are fabulous, some days she has another view.  

Ledyard Photo Friday – Late Edition

Somehow this just doesn’t seem right for August.
