The Freedom to Collect Images

I admit to being remiss in updating this blog; the promise of new entries each week, mostly on Fridays, has suffered because of a confluence of factors. One of those---not always having easy or quick access to images from the places I wish to highlight---has just been remedied.

The camera on an HTC Droid phone I just got will liberate me forever forward from the bottleneck of wanting to type odes to all the special places in northwestern Connecticut, the region that's become encoded in my DNA, but being stalled when it comes to visuals.

So this is not as much a standard entry as a promise to become more frequent and robust in posts---and an announcement of a new Droid-driven feature on our Web site, http://www.countytimes.com/. We've just launched a Twitter Photo of the Day feature, in hopes of creating a sort of visual dialogue with kindred spirits who live in the Northwest Hills, along with those who have visited or just dreamed about spending time in our verdant, culturally-rich towns.

Here's our first photo:
