One eerie morning, as the fog crept up to my front door, I observed a deer staring at me.  I could just barely make out its figure in that heavy mist, but I knew I should have taken a photograph.  Unfortunately, when you grow up in Connecticut these sights can seem normal.  I’ve missed a lot of photo opportunities, but luckily, some people were paying attention.  These shots capture the beauty of those eerie mornings and Connecticut’s extensive expanse of nature.
