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!

Friday Hunt, 2017.1.9

It is again time for Teresa's fun meme, Friday Hunt. The clues are in as am I now...

Starts with I. Two are presented this week, but are not from this winter, thankfully. The first (L) is Inch - our daughter measured the new snow on January 12, 2011. It was 15 inches (38 cm) that day. Our daughter wielded the tape measure, happily wearing gloves...to the right, taken a couple of weeks later (Jan. 27, 2011) after yet another massive snowfall - the icicles that formed over the gutter. Pretty sky, mean, jagged icicle. Happily, the winter of 2010-2011 passed, as will this winter - even as an Arctic blast is descending on us tonight...

Week's Favorite. Patti went to a Read Across America Day event at Bungay School in neighboring Seymour CT. Here, the school's Principal performs Green Eggs and Ham with the Cat in the Hat in front of the students in the gym. She looks great, although all the moves in high heels may have been a bit uncomfortable...

Nose. This was taken by passenger Patti in 1999 on the Fort Pitt Bridge in Pittsburgh and it is me, looking at the road as my profile is captured. Note the old Three Rivers Stadium in the background. Thanks as always for the meme, Teresa!
