Duffy's fantabulous Patio!

Chris Walsh of Duffy's Tavern in West Haven invited me back to the pub this weekend to capture some shots while patron's enjoyed the new patio addition. He will be updating his website soon adding updated photos of all the wonderful addtions. It was such a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. Brightly colored upholstered wicker sofas as well as chairs, wicker furniture with wonderful glass topped bistro tables and coffee tables make for comfortable seating. Beautifully enclosed by brick and a gorgeous ornate wrought iron fencing that carry a celtic border across the top. Ambient glass candle holders in beautiful shades of orange and red and a see through fireplace gives such a beautiful atmosphere one would not want to leave. Make sure to visit them soon to meet the wonderful employees who will keep you wanting to return again and again. No matter how far you are it is definately worth the trip.

These votives compliment the patio so well and create such beautiful ambient light. Caught in the glass reflecting are Valerie and Bob who are enjoying themselves on comfortable patio seating.

If you don't have plans for dinner tonight it's worth the trip to Duffy's. Relax by the fire with a glass of wine and lit candles. Be sure and bring your camera, you will definately want to keep this an everlasting memory.
