I took a lot of photos in Westport this weekend, and decided to split them into two separate posts. I'll publish the second set tomorrow with a more comprehensive recap. I'm dubbing these the "by the water" collection: On Saturday, we went for a leisurely late afternoon stroll around the grounds of our  inn and found a rocky beach where we stopped to collect shells and inhale the crisp, whip-cold, salty air.

My usual state of mind typically translates as "relaxed," but after an hour wandering these surroundings, I felt like I was in a downright trance. The water does that to me. New England water, especially. I will forever associate it with the unparalleled comfort of home.
