Fisher Meadows Pond

I took this in Avon which is just outside Hartford CT. It was late December so there was a chill in the air as I arrived before dawn to walk around the pond. This was just after sunrise about halfway around. The best part of being here early is the stillness of the water and the reflections that result.  I finished the hike and headed to the airport to return home to Florida for the holidays.

Avon Well

While walking around a park in Connecticut I came across this structure that I could see from quite a distance. Turns out it's a well and according to the plaque it can pump three million gallons a day. To me that seems incredible, such a large amount of water. Maybe that's normal? I'll bet they could use this in California right now. Anyway, I was impressed enough that I took this picture.

Fisher Meadows Pond

This is the pond at Fisher Meadow in Avon Connecticut. I walked around this one morning to capture the still waters one winter morning. To get this perspective I placed my camera inches from the water since stillness is what I was trying to capture. In any case, I just returned from Arizona which has quite a lot of arid dry land and few, if any, ponds to speak of. I decided to post this picture to restore a sense of landscape equalibrium and a little water to my thirsty eyes. ;-)
