Early morning on the cove; the main street in town is out behind those buildings.

Another view looking out toward North Cove; the title is a direct quote from a neighbor of ours on the renovation of this property, and its recent selling price.

Old Saybrook is one beautiful town, situated as it is at the mouth of the CT River. Here’s one of our favorite destinations for morning walks, about a half mile from where we live.

It occurred to me after the fact that I could have worked the nest building (see below) into this wider perspective, where more of the habitat is revealed. Consider it one that got away. It’s not the first, and won’t be the last. Two important lessons here: 1) the skill set that photography requires can get rusty, especially in the ability to see beyond formulaic approaches, and 2) ALWAYS try different perspectives. Doing the second helps with the first.

The wind was steady at about 15 MPH left to right at the time, which made this osprey’s efforts all the more amazing. This was taken some seventy yards out with a Canon 100-400mm rental about an hour before it went back.

A colony of great egrets has discovered the marsh out behind our neighbor’s house. There’s usually at least one out there all day, and sometimes as many as twenty, two thirds of them juveniles. Initially skittish on approach, they seem to be OK now, particularly with a fence and brush and phragmites between us.
