The weekend arrives with Teresa's fun photo meme, Friday Hunt. Given her clues, I am ready :)
Starts with 'L'. The first one is a statue of Marquis de Lafayette, the French general who aided in the Colonial Army. Lafayette today marches at the intersection of Capitol and Washington Avenues in Hartford Connecticut. Alas, the daily commuters probably do not know of the aid provided by the French general that helped form our republic..
This is another pic of the grand opening spread at the new Lulu Pazzo Italiano restaurant in Ansonia. This was the seafood offering (I stayed with the cooked shrimp on the upper platter)
Finally, Patti captured a nice look at the glass pyramid at the Musée Louvre during a school trip with our daughter in 2004.
Week's Favorite. Our daughter captured this fiery sunrise this morning. So colorful yet as we are aware of the old sailor's saying about 'Red sky at morning...' It was a gray day, so the old seafarer's adage was true today.
Antique. This print is an antique to me although it was taken in real time, this being 1920. It is my grandfather, the gentleman in the vest. I believe his half-sister Essie is to his right, his mother Lucinda to his left and his father James next to her. It was likely taken in the Ohio River steel town of Weirton, West Virginia. The print I have has Grandpa's notations from 1978 on the back - he looks just so cool!
