Skywatch Friday: Steep Rock, Washington, Connecticut

steep

The Shepaug River actually had water in it when we visited it at Steep Rock Preserve in Washington, Connecticut, last Sunday morning. Along the way, we came across a little girl capturing tiny frogs that were pretty bouncy but not as fast as she was, even if she did have to go to the bathroom, as she said. The view above is from a suspension bridge that links that path system to the road where the more genteel folk drive in their hike and call it good just to play in the water. It's all good.

Here are a few more pictures, including a view of the Litchfield Hills, though they don't do justice to this beautiful place. Go there if you can.

  20. Perfect reflection. I looked at your slide show and the pics are spectacular. It reminds me of southeast Oklahoma with the hills layered with trees and bottoms with meadows.
