Long Island Sound at Harkness Memorial State Park, Waterford, Connecticut

In my newly released piece, “Driftwood Surge”, whitewater erupts from a length of stranded driftwood as waves crash upon sandy beaches along the eastern Connecticut coast. A bare tree, perched upon the bluffs at the horizon, stands as the only indication that colder weather has descended upon this otherwise lovely shoreline park.

In an issue published in 1911, Country Life Magazine reflected on the virtues of Long Island Sound with a contagious enthusiasm. “Its edges are indented with numerous cosy harbors at convenient intervals, and fringed in some parts with many pleasant islands,” the author noted. “One of its harbors can hardly find a parallel in the world for beauty and charm; one of its estuaries has been said many times to surpass, not in rugged grandeur but in grace and soft beauty, both the Rhine and the Hudson.”
