Greetings to All,
Again I'm putting off Foote Park in Branford for another time. I think that spot is better for a hot summer day. But with light breezes from the SSE, I think the Branford Supply Pond complex would be a good place. Likely not much sun, but maybe above 50 degrees by 10 AM. And although the leaves are largely down, there still is quite a bit of color in the trees and brush. What more could we expect on the last week in October? I would just caution you to watch out for poison ivy if you step into the roadside grasses. I came away itching when we painted here in the spring.
Directions below.
I hope to see you there.

BRANFORD
SUPPLY PONDS, Short Rocks Road, Branford
From the south on I-95, take Exit 54
- Cedar Street. Turn south (right) and get in the left lane, ready to turn left
(east), after about 0.3 mile, onto Route 1. Go about 0.6 mile, and turn
left (north) next to a tavern on Chestnut. Chestnut will take you winding
through the woods, and over a little bridge between two ponds, about 0.6
mile. After crossing the bridge, you will see a parking area and signs for the
trails. We can convene there.
From the north on I-95, take Exit 55
- North Main Street (Route 1). Turn west (right), toward Branford. Go about 0.7
mile to the light at Mill Plain Road. Turn north (right). After passing under
the highway, take your first left (west) onto Short Rocks Road. This will
take you through a small residential area and along the length of one of the
ponds. After about 0.6 mile, you will see the parking area on your right, just
before the road turns to go over the little bridge between the two ponds. Do
not go over the bridge. We can convene here.
Again, you might want to drive
around to find where you think you want to paint and drop your stuff off and
come back to park here. However, there are other roadside pull-off areas where
I believe you could park without anyone objecting.
