The Weekend Roundup 'Q'

We are on the cusp of the weekend and thus are ready for Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup. This week's letter is 'Q' which was actually easy to find a pic or two :)

Quacker. This lovely lady Mallard sits proudly on a bridge pier sitting over the Wepawaug River in Milford CT. Quack quack!

Next are Quilts, and Quite a few! This is in the Seymour CT Congregational Church

And of course, the New York City borough of Queens, here on the Long Island Expressway, often known as the world's longest parking lot (car park). Although today it was moving quite well westbound :)

Favorite. This is the door to a tailor in Derby CT who retired yesterday after 66 years. The sky, flag and Mr. Carlino's name look so right together. We even published a few more pics in our Valley-Voice Newsletter today. Thanks Tom!

The Weekend Roundup "C"

Friday is here so it is time again for a great meme, The Weekend Roundup, hosted by Tom. The letter 'C' is featured prominently today and is where we begin...

Starts with 'C'. Here is the entrance Union Congregational Church in Rockville, Connecticut. Its windows and arches are Circular in style.

The next 'C' is Crowded. These pics were taken in August 2007 when we were bringing our daughter back for her sophomore year at the University of Hartford. Although my ford E150 van was big, there was lots of stuff. I had to get into the driver's seat first so my wheelchair could be used for space. Note her computer between the front seats. Believe it or not, four other passengers made the trip too!

Obviously, our furry family feline (aka: Cat) Linus McDonald is seemingly in a trance as he sits in a open box.

Clouds. Our daughter captured these clouds from a 737 over the mid-Atlantic seaboard, perhaps as it gets ready to land in Raleigh. Nice wispy clouds hopefully meant a smooth descent minus any bumps...

Week's Favorite. It was cloudy all day but enough sun allowed for a colorful sunset view out our living room windowon Tuesday.

Friday Hunt 2016-2.21

It is the end of the week, so time again for Friday Hunt, hosted by Teresa. She provides the clues, we provide the pics...

Starts with U. There's not many pics I can find with the letter 'U' around, butfound a few that fit. I start with Saint Peter & Saint Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church in our small city of Ansonia CT, opened in 1916.

The iconic Unisphere in Queens, NY City. Captured by passenger Patti along the I-678 Whitestone Expressway (note the silhouette of the Freedom Tower to the left)

My brother and his family live in the Beehive State, Utah

Week's Favorite. our favorite small art gallery, E-Street, has a new sign created by our artist friend, Rich Di Carlo. It replaces one destroyed in a wind storm 

Wildlife. These birds were captured outside a window in February. Thanks again Teresa.
