Ivy1, Thanks Big Time ! ! Yes it was Mystic, CT. Been there, very pretty.
My initial posting was from a local newscast. (short-lived)
I hope others find it interesting also.

Andy- I can't believe I missed the tree coming here! That's what I get for relying on my husband for news and events in the area. It would have been so cool to watch the boat come in.
