I’m back in Connecticut now, so I figured that I could get back into the swing of things. \u00a0I figured I could do the usual this morning – head out and catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 while getting a little walk in. \u00a0As it ended up, that almost didn’t happen.<\/p>\n
Listening to the scanner this morning, the P&W frequency was oddly silent. \u00a0On a whim, I headed out at my usual time – I figured at the very least I’d be able to get a little stroll in. \u00a0It was, after all, a nice morning. \u00a0So I decided to head up to Ledyard and decide along the way where I’d like to do my thing.<\/p>\n
I swung by Mill Cove first to check things out – since the scanner was silent the entire way up, I figured I had time to head north and possibly catch them ar0und Stoddard Hill. \u00a0So I headed back to Route 12 and proceeded north.<\/p>\n
Well, just after I passed by Dow Chemical, and right where the tracks come into view from Route 12, I happened to look to my left. \u00a0What did I see? \u00a0NR-2’s head end heading south! \u00a0Crap, I guess I’d have to try to make it back down to Mill Cove. \u00a0So it was time for a pretty-much-legal U-turn, and a quick trip back down 12 and Military Highway.<\/p>\n
I got to the south end of Mill Cove just as NR-2’s headlights appeared north of Red Top. \u00a0I got out, and got into position – there were a number of birds hanging out on the ice floating in the cove. \u00a0As I usually try to do, I attempted to incorporate the birds into a few shots. \u00a0The angles are pretty standard fare for the cove, so there’s nothing earth shattering here, but I did manage to work the birds into a few frames – both in flight and on the ice & water.<\/p>\n[cpg_album:682]\n
And that was it for the morning. \u00a0Headed back to the office for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n
Thanks for looking!
