Silver Sands State Park


Silver Sands State Park is on Long Island Sound in Milford, Connecticut. It has a long boardwalk which Nancy, Emily and I strolled on today. Below is the portion of the boardwalk over the tidal channel of Fletcher's Creek:


Charles Island is visible in the photo above in the distance to the right. At low tide one can walk across the sandbar (tombolo) to the island. Local legend holds that Captain Kidd's buried treasure is on the island. We walked out toward the island as far as we could (photo below).


We saw a wedding taking place on the beach. We also saw several parties flying kites (photo below) as well as a kite-eating tree that Charlie Brown would understand.


The occasion for our trip to Connecticut was a weekend visit to see Emily in New Haven. Earlier today the three of us walked 5K in Tracy's Run in Milford.
