Elephant trunk nebula

Photographer: Parag Sahasrabudhe (Photo of Distinction)
September 2022 East Lyme residence Image of Elephant trunk nebula from the constellation of Cepheus. This star forming region is about 3000 light years away from us. The elephant trunk contains several “young” stars that are less than 100,000 years old. This is a composite of about 2 hour long exposure taken with 5 minute sub-exposures.

Foggy Tree

June 2022 Selden Creek Preserve, Lyme, CT I have developed an appreciation for nature and all of my wonderful adventures taking photos reminds me of how important it is to take time to relax and discover things. Nature really matters because it provides awe-inspiring beauty to the world we live in.

Vernal Pool Reflections

Photographer: Kip (Photo of Distinction)
April 23, 2022 Johnston I took this photo on a LLT group hike led by Tony on April 23rd to see salamander eggs in the vernal pools of the Johnston preserve. I love reflections as they are windows into another world. In this case, the subtle colors hint at the coming of spring, while looking back to the fall.

Dogwood

Photographer: Rochelle Davis (Photo of  Distinction)
May 4, 2022 Private land The blooming of our native dogwoods [Cornus florida] mark spring for me. Peppered throughout old farms and Lyme's preserves, dogwoods seem to be honored members of our community. This single last blossom, surrounded by the new leaves that will nourish the tree, serves as a reminder to celebrate their beauty.

May 2022 Private land In the meadows in spring and summer, the spiders build their webs between the grass stems. The dew catches on them and shines like a string of pearls in the morning sun.
