Some Sunday Photo Challenges are hidden in plain sight. We pass by them every day, but often look past as they blend in with the landscape. Or we don’t look far enough up (or down) to see them.
Others are out in the open, but you won’t see them if you don’t go there. We don’t show really obscure spots. Still, if you don’t shop at Trader Joe’s, you won’t recognize part of its mural.
And if you don’t walk out toward the Sherwood Mill Pond, on the pedestrian path and footbridges heading to Compo Cove, you won’t pass Clark Hanford’s house.
His is the last one on the left, before the garages. That’s where last week’s Photo Challenge was located. Karen Como’s photo showed a planter, with a little green figure, set amid some scruffy grass and dirt. (Click here to see.)
Clark is a Staples High School graduate, and a noted artist. His yard is home to an eclectic array of stuff — including, at one time, a tiny electric vehicle.
If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth a trip. So, of course, is the walk along the Mill Pond.
Pat Saviano, Micheal Simso and Beth Berkowitz were the readers who correctly identified last Sunday’s challenge.
If you know where in Westport you’d find this week’s, click “Comments” below. It too is in the “you’ve got to go there to know” category.
But if you don’t go there — sorry, you’re just not a real Westporter.

The clock at Coffee an’
I’m at Coffee A right now! The best place in Westport!
Coffee An…
‘…. — sorry, you’re just not a real Westporter.’
Hard pass. Not sure that’s something we all aspire to be.
The first cup of coffee I ever had was at a Starbucks and I was 44 years old. I only drink Starbucks. (The first time I ever had a Yogurt, I was 62 years old.) When I was a kid living on a farm, Yogurt was called “Sour milk.” What 5 year old would enthusiastically say, “I’d love some sour milk?”
Coffee An’ !
Yep. This was a slam, um, dunk.
Definitely coffee An
Coffee An’ (with a marble stick donut)
Growing up in Weston,(off Lyon’s Plains Rd) Coffee An’ was our Saturday morning ritual. 🙂 (If my memory correct, at one time, there was a small donut -making machine ,there, also?)
Glad it’s still there! 🙂
Coffee An was a big part of living in Westport…my girls would go every weekend with their Dad and inevitably, extra donuts (usually handed out for free to regulars) would make it home and of course, I would eat one. They are heavenly…was recently in Westport and had to stop in. Glad its still a “Westport thing”!!!
