So the weather’s been crappy lately, but as usual that never stopped me from getting out and shooting. And this time of year, the colors are just starting to peak down in southeastern Connecticut, so even cloudy gloomy days are somewhat colorful. And boy were Tuesday and Wednesday pretty cloudy […]
