Tripping on Travel: Mashamoquet State Park #3, Pomfret, CT

Part 3 has me moving away from the brook's shores and toward the open field where I take a closer look at a stone wall and a few trees. One thing besides nature's beauty that caught my eye ... a mass of flying insects seen in the sunlight, that I assume are parasitic in nature. Mosquitos, gnats? I don't know. The next and final part of this series will be a slide show of the still images I took inside this small area of Mashamoquet Brook State Park that day.

In this series, I segue to a different approach. The camera's eye is close to the ground, as if from an animal's perspective. There is only introduction music and no background music. I chose instead to feature the sounds of the park as I walked through a small section of it.

Wikipedia explains the history of the state park this way; "Mashamoquet Brook first came to the attention of the State Park Commission when former Pomfret resident Sarah Fay donated eleven and a half acres of the stream's hemlock-lined gorge to the state in 1918. In 1925, that parcel was combined with the Wolf Den, site of Israel Putnam's legendary wolf slaying, which the Daughters of the American Revolution had purchased in 1899. The donation of the Hotchkins Wolf Den Farm parcel in 1957 together with other purchases and gifts brought the park to its present size of over 900 acres." There is also a swimming area at the park. But as it's explained by the state's website for the park, it's been closed this season due to maintenance issues.
