Enjoying perfect weather, river views at Shelton Riverwalk

I caught views of the Housatonic River Friday morning at the Shelton Riverwalk. I was there to cover the 'deconstruction' of Harvest House VII by volunteers and staff of Valley agencies that feed the needy.

Recuperation journey: Sunrise reflection

My view to the north at 6:43 a.m. Sunrise reflected on the clouds. 

Happy First Day of Autumn. I'm looking forward to the colorful foliage ahead. Who's with me?

Recuperation journey: Guest photo shoot

Hi - This isn't really my journey, but it did occur during what I consider my "recuperation period." 
First six months post-transplant is the most crucial...I think! And it has only been 4.5 months.

Daughter Allegra had an eventful walk in our quiet neighborhood this evening. 
She was startled by some local wildlife in a storm drain. 

She said the little guy (or gal) popped out and back in, and hoped he (or she) wasn't stuck.

This pic's a little blurry - I'd imagine the photographer was a bit startled - but you can see two little heads poking out from the drain. They look like twins. Siblings? Husband and wife? Mother and daughter? Who knows.
I'm glad Allegra had her phone with her to capture these fun photos for me to post.
