Cold steam...

Since there are many rivers and waterfalls where I live, there are also many scenic views every day, every night, and during every season.

This morning was a frosty one, and we have not had too many of them yet this year in Northeast CT, so the views were a bit different than they have been as of late.

And they made my heart beat a little faster.....

Since I was driving to work, I did not stop to take the million of pictures that all would have been outstanding, so I will ask you to dig deep and use your imaginations. Paint a picture all your own...

Water, loud and fast - rushing over rocks and sticks, headlong down the falls, splashing loudly, dancing irreverently, and then meeting up with the flat and steady river again, winding its way along the well known path it has traveled forever.

Steam and spray rising above it all, created by the frigid air and the warmer water, adding to the dazzling morning display.

Further down the river, with the sun's early morning rays penetrating from behind the leafless branches of many a tree, they appear to be diamond encrusted sculptures... and again the cold steam rises above the river, giving the sight a dreamlike feel.

Can you picture it? It was something else!

As I got on 395 South and headed to work... I pictured my beautiful Putnamania as I drove away from it. Thank goodness for mental photo albums! Store up many beautiful sights and remember them when you need them. 


I am a Putnamaniac because cold and steamy...and beautiful memories are made here!
