Colorful Viewers' Autumn Weather Photos

Several of our viewers sent photos to me this week illustrating the splendor of Autumn and our local weather. Ralph Fato, who is a regular contributor to our News 12 Connecticut Facebook page, wrote, "(What an) amazing sunrise this morning. I took this with my camera phone while walking my dog. I’m sure there was a better view at the beach. Wow. Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailor's warning.” Thanks, Ralph.



Hillka Schulz of Stamford carries her camera just about everywhere. She wrote, "Here are two pictures from our beautiful state in Autumn. The first one was taken in New Canaan, and the pumpkins are in Stamford. Happy Fall Season to all of you!"



Randy Brody took this photo of "a brilliant, but windy day at Compo Beach, Westport," last Sunday. Just look at that sky!


Jennifer James of Norwalk wrote, "Maybe you can use one of these on your weather forecast so that we can see some sunshine on the rainy days ahead. I took them at a small private beach in Norwalk."



Special thanks to all who sent their photos to us. I sincerely appreciate it. Keep 'em coming.

Paul
