Never fear our foison fervent fanatical
fellow fine fascinating
flower & fauna following friends,
The Wooster Square Blossom Blog is moving to
Wooster Street!
These last few days have been so hot that while walking the dogs, the fire hydrants chased them! Squirrels are putting their nuts in the freezer! Here in the Wonderful World of Famous, Historic Wooster Square, we are slightly lucky. We are only a few blocks from New Haven Harbor.
In fact, Water Street, just South of Wooster Street was a bustling waterfront with some of the Neighborhood residents having homes and businesses. One enterprising shipping merchant Benedict Arnold lived here in Wooster Square.
(He would have been better off staying in Wooster Square, 'cept all these tariffs brought him out as a revolutionary. Then, only thinking they would lose the war, switched sides.)
So we enjoy the coolest off breezes off the Sound. However, this afternoon's low tide smelled so bad because of the stifling heat. The yin and yang.
The ebb and flow of the tide. Wooster Square is part of this shoreline community. The walk to the end of New Haven Pier from Wooster Square is one mile.
In a short walk you can be along the water, and see one of the major stopping points for all types of birds that migrate. Common Terns, Least Sandpipers, Osprey, Great and snowy egrets, steps from the Wonderful World of Historic Wooster Square, and the best Pizza in the USA...and all that with Cherry Blossoms on top!

The Fire man took off on the hottest day.
I still have the immense responsibility bestowed to me by the Historic Wooster Square Association.
And that is documenting, photographing, and most
importantly, predicting when our Superb Salient

So, before we can get to the scheduled post, La Passeggiata, from Wooster Street next...
A few pictures from the past couple of weeks. I spent some time on tiny Clam Island shooting all types of seabirds that you can only see right here in Connecticut (or the east coastline).
Also, some from a bike ride to Lighthouse Point, Fort Nathan Hale and East Shore Park.
