Thimble Islands during spring of 2015.

Now that the weather was getting nice out I wanted to take my camera down to the Stony Creek neighborhood of Branford, CT and photograph the famed “Thimble Islands”.

The weather was delightful and it was just a joy to line up these beautiful island homes in the sights of my 80-400 Nikon lens.  The Thimble Islands number between 100-300, depending on what you would classify as a large rock or an actual island.  Only about 23 are actually inhabited.  Most, if not all of these homes, are summer get a ways.

If you’re into this type of photography then grab your tripod, and a long lens and head out to Stony Creek.  You’ll not only walk away with some good pictures but it’s a wonderful place to sit on a bench, reflect, and enjoy Long Island sound.
