Found Gold!


There's a good reason to take your dog for a walk on a cold winters day - aside from the fact that Joxer loves to get out and sniff around and pee everywhere. We went for another walk down by the Housatonic river and I found a gold coin. You just never know what's gonna wash up along the shore. Lot's of plastic bottles, a dolls head, all different types of balls, driftwood, etc... Then out of the corner of your eye, there it is, something sparkles in the weak winter sun. You pick it up, and sure enough, it's plastic. I did find a real gold coin once in downtown Bridgeport.

A pool in the woods


Took a hike on a nearby trail with Joxer yesterday. Got some much needed winter exercise and took a few decent photos. Went off the trail, following a stream along a heavily wooded valley and came across a spring fed circular pool that’s about 20 feet across. If there was a house or farm nearby, it has long since vanished. I’m guessing this was used during dry periods. I’ll have to explore the area a little more in the Spring.

Attack of the Cybermen


A big fan of Doctor Who, my son got a Cyberman helmet for Christmas. While trying it on for a photo, Joxer “attacked me”. Good dog, protecting America from the Cybermen.
