Friday Hunt 2017.2.3

Friday is here and time again for Teresa’s fun meme Friday Hunt. She provides the prompts, we the pics, and away we go:

Starts with C. There are lots of this letter around. First is our son Cameron, at his second birthday in 1992…and in 2003 taking a unique implement to toast that marshmallow over the fading charcoal heat...

Another 'C' is convertible, and two I saw at a car show on Sunday, a Triumph TR-3 and a 1936 Ford, both looking very nice with their tops folded down.

 

Building. I was in this building on Tuesday and I love the design. This is the Emmett O’Brien Technical High School after its dramatic expansion and makeover. It feels like a ship’s bow cruising along the Ansonia hilltop

Something I wear. I certainly wouldn’t wear these in the current July heat and humidity - however in the winter, with the drafty heat these microwave slippers are a toasty treat for the toes. Thanks Teresa for the prompts!

Shadow Shot Sunday - Estate shadows

Well, our modest home in the Ansonia Uplands is rather modest, 1400 sq ft (130m²⁾ set upon a quarter acre (1112 m²) so calling it an estate may be stretching the point). However, on a nice summer day, one can easily find subjects for Shadow Shot Sunday 2. Here I present two, nice shadows around our yard, First, a shadowy look down the hill in back. On our patio in the back, our new table from Lowes, assembled by a friend. means that we can eat outside and have that side order of shadow along with our charcoal grilled delicacies - a two course delight!

Friday Hunt, 2017.1.17

It is yet another rainy and raw Friday in Southern New England, but no worries. It is time again for Teresa’s fun meme, Friday Hunt. Without further ado, here are my look at this week’s clues. 

Starts with ‘R’. I am choosing Renovation (and wreck would be perfect phonetically at least :). These pics were taken on 30 October 1996, and it was the beginning of a new wheelchair ramp. Which first required removing the front stoop and sidewalk. It was an amazing process handled by large workers and heavy equipment to remove the old before creating the new…

Week's Favorite. Every Spring, without fail, this lone tulip arises in the very spot in the side yard. It is a sure sign of Spring - it is pretty, but how about a few sunny warm days? 2017 has been way too cool so far

Window. What window is complete without furry family feline friend Linus McDonald? Not this one!

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 - Winter's Last Gasp

I am tired of the cold temperatures of winter, and given the long term predictions that Spring is here (in feel as well as chronologically), I have to admit its artistry is nice. So for Shadow Shot Sunday 2, here is a look at our back yard last week - and it looks nice. In fact, there has been substantial snow melt this week, so one last look at the season past...
