Since I was a kid I have collected many things, one of them being binoculars. Now that I am older I have my ‘sights’ set on much older models.

I was so lucky to have my uncle’s beach house in Milford, CT for the 4th, the misses and I toured around the neighborhood enjoying the fresh New England sites.
