George was driving and that's unusual because I always drive. Maybe because that way if I want to stop I just stop or slow down but.... with a camera that's a little harder. So take into account that most of these pictures were taken while driving down the road. I got a lot of pictures of telephone poles!!!
But a few good ones. I really like these scenes in b&w especially Fenwick. I'm not exactly sure of the date that community was established but it was the turn of the century I'm sure. It makes me think of the way it might have looked in pictures back then. Fenwick is where Katie Hepburn lived when she retired and it had been her families summer home before that.
There's also a golf course here that the residence get to use but is open to the public. George loves to golf here early in the morning before work.
This is a garden planted by one of the resident of South Cove. It's all planted with lavender,liatris,grasses and various salt tolerant plants. 
Believe it or not this is the view of the water from the old town dump. It's now cleaned up with a small green, stone walls and plantings all around ...even a couple of picnic tables. It was really beautiful up here perch up high you could get a great view of the cove. What were they thinking when they decided to put the dump here??? but years ago this town was all farmland and except for Fenwick this land was not as desirable as the towns more north of here that had water power that could run factories. I guess this seemed as good a place as any to put a dump. 
Well ......some other time I'll give you the history of this town but for now I hope you enjoyed my B&W scenic parts of Old Saybrook.
