Last Saturday Jeanette and I took a nice walk through one of Connecticut and Massachusetts loveliest valleys. It is almost wild, the fact that not very many people about. It is home to bear, deer and a moose or two. We spent close to 5 hours walking and viewing the land and mountains. There were some interesting rock formations as well as several little streams. I hope you enjoy the walk.
Alan, just being there is half the journey.

Pete very peaceful. Those rocks gave a look of water flowing.
What a beautiful valley Alan......
ReplyDeleteThose rock formations are interesting - makes you wonder what geological forces formed them eons ago.
And a gorgeous brookie to finish off with! What is that I see in its jaw? An Ausable........

Alistair we were thinking the same as we walked about them. Many colors through out the formations.
That brookie was from a trip many years ago. I found it when I started piecing my collection back after my computer went haywire. The fly was a sulphur parachute.
Alan - those are some very interesting rocks and don't look typical for CT. I wonder what they are?

Mark they did stand out that's for sure.
No geology background here, perhaps someone can give us an answer.
Beautiful gneissose rock. Molded and shaped by many millennia of heat and pressure, that's what geologists call "high grade metamorphic rock". Almost matches the brook trout.

Bill one does not need a fly rod to enjoy the outdoors. Those glaciers did some painting.
Those tucked away wild spots are priceless..
