A refreshing, educational blog post about the CT shoreline in August, with some spectacular photos of an egret and insects. The site is well worth a bookmark.

Driving through town I saw a NJ license plate devoted to conserving the Meadowlands, below is a photo from the NJ DMV, proceeds from the sale of the plate will be used to fund the Meadowlands Conservation Trust.

From the Trust: " The unique design of the plate combines human and natural elements to show our constant interaction in this urban wetland complex. This plate will help establish incentive programs to encourage land donations and protect open space to improve accessibility and recreational opportunities for the Hackensack Meadowlands and River Watershed."

Meadowlands..... you've come a long way baby.

Wetlands and Beer generally don't have much in common besides water, but I saw the logo of the Stony Creek Brewery and thought I would share it. The brewery is located on shore of the Branford River in Branford, CT. I love the stylized heron logo with a head of wheat for it's comb. If the beer is as cool as its logo, I'll have to buy some!
