The motorhome is parked at my son’s home where I’m expected to remain until July 17th visiting with my family.
Mary is back at her home in California readying for a family reunion. She has a tentative return-to-me-date of July 16th.
In three recent days, I introduced to you the Village of Essex less than five miles from my son’s home.
In those entries I’ve started showing images taken at the Connecticut River Museum located in Essex. In the next several Blog entries I’ll share more photos with you.
Today I want to discuss the Connecticut River itself…
At 407 miles, it’s the longest river in New England. Starting at the New Hampshire/Canada border it flows into Long Island Sound. You can read all about the Connecticut River by clicking this Wikipedia link…

Essex is only six miles from the sound. The below image marks Essex with the yellow arrow. The upper bridge is Interstate Highway 95 and the lower bridge is a long-standing railroad bridge…
Below the railroad bridge is Long Island Sound…

The Connecticut River Museum is located at the end of Main Street right on the river…

On October 27, 2012, I created a two-minute video titled America The Beautiful. The music America The Beautiful is by Christopher W. French. The photos, which I randomly selected, are from the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, Washington and West Virginia (not shown in that order)…are mine. Yup, That’s me standing in front of the Post Office in Luckenbach, Texas…Y’all!
