Friday Hunt 2017.2.23

Friday arrives the day before our first nuisance snowfall in Southern New England, so it is a perfect time to participate in teresa's great meme, Friday Hunt. This week's prompts offer a challenge, which is why it is so fun. So onward we go...

Starts with 'W'. The first is Wine, these from the Savino Vineyards in Woodbridge, CT. It is less than 2 miles (3.2 kM) from home. The wine was nice, too when we visited the lovely vineyards and winery.
Then there is White, the color of snow. Never fear though, this pic was taken on 1 Feb. 2011. There were so many big snowfalls that winter, and more than one roof collapsed in town. Since there was an ice storm the next day, and not wanting a roof failure, we hired someone to shovel the roof. This was our patio when the job was complete.
Weightlifting. This old print was taken be me at the weightlifting venue at the 1984 summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The faded colors impacted the image, but not my memories: when the weights hit the floor after the lift, you felt it in your seat. 
Dense. The foliage growing on the Savin Rock in West Haven CT is quite dense indeed. 
Texture. I think my sister's cat Jake is a fine example of a soft and furry texture!

  1. ...Ralph, Weightlifting is one that I wouldn't have thought of of! Have great week.

  2. Jake is a pretty cat on the prowl. The setting of your home is very pretty also, up with a down sloping densely small treed back yard. I am imagining that about now it is being filled with snow. Ours from yesterday was the snowman and snowball type, very moist. Thanks for peeking in on my Hunt blog.
