Gallery of Photos: Groton Long Point, Connecticut



As well as seeing Mystic, Connecticut (see last week's blog), I visited a friend in Groton Long Point just down the road from there.  It was a perfect enclave for taking late afternoon walks with the low golden light and the distant views across the Sound to islands I was not able to name.  Mornings, children took sailing lessons on safe lagoons or practiced their tennis while their mothers got in some good running. 









It's mostly used as a summer residence with a great exodus in September, but some full-time residents do winter over.  Though Hurricane Sandy hit this coast pretty hard, I saw no visual evidence of damage.  I rather marveled at that, but apparently people just hauled to and got things fixed early on.




















That pole out there supports an osprey nest platform where we could make out mother, father, and fledgling.

My friend and I also took in the scene in nearby Noank where we stopped for supper at a fabulous clam shack.
A good heap of fried clams.





Thanks,  C.  It was a great visit!



Next week:  the Florence Griswold Museum and House, part of the Old Lyme Art Colony.
