Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison, Connecticut. The bee and butterfly pictures were taken in the flower garden next to the nature center at the east end of the park.

Long Beach, Stratford, Connecticut
We deal with the timeless tension of many married couples: fishing. My wife fishes; I don’t. (I find it boring, but I will stalk butterflies for an hour.) But she mentioned the idea of going to Long Beach in Stratford, located on the Long Island Sound, after an early dinner, so I grabbed my camera and explored while she pierced fish lips.
I had never seen monarch butterflies at the beach before, and these guys looked like they wanted to pose for pictures. It was a nice surprise. And what trip to the beach is complete without a gull picture? Rounding out the set is the least tern, a common little bird that was busy looking for dinner.
Take your adventures where you can find them.
