Swimming with the Fishes

The weather was nice, so I headed down to the river for a little walk. It's a good time of year to pick up litter - before all the prickers and other plants cover it up. I found this doll who had obviously seen better days. At some point, it was probably some girls precious friend. Did it accidently fall into the river and get washed downstream? Or, was it thrown off of a bridge? If you can identify this doll by the tattoo on her back, I'll gladly return it.

Hike and Photos

The warm weather continues (40s), so I took a hike with my friend Mitch along the Shelton side of the river yesterday. Kind of a drab time of year for nature shots, but also keeping an eye out for arrowheads. Hiked up through an old cemetery and the trails near the gas pipeline right-of-way.

Down by the River

Remember that Neil Young song? It got a little warmer yesterday (40s), so I took a walk down by the nearby Housatonic river. Brought my camera with me but I didn't take any good shots. I did find a couple of pieces of driftwood that had washed up that I'll be able to do something with. I've always had an interest in architecture and use some of these pieces as a starting point for structure-like sculptures.
