We get used to the monochrome of winter and, for some, the season's narrow palette is an opportunity to rest our eyes. Spring's alarm clock of color, though, is a gentle one. The Connecticut River swells with winter's melted snow, maple sap is boiled one last time, forsythias bloom and chickens begin scratching in ground only recently warmed. Watch as winter fades to resplendent pops of color across Connecticut.

It’s a snowy winter morning and Connecticut oyster farmers Kim and Gretchen Granbery are setting out for their last harvest of the year. The couple owns and operates Leetes Island Oysters.

Since travel by boat is difficult when this inland estuary freezes, this is the pair’s last trip of the winter.
