Shadow Shot Sunday - Shelton History Center

I like vintage - in lots of things, especially old cars and buildings. So for Shadow Shot Sunday 2, I go back a couple of weeks to a car show at the Shelton (CT) History Center. The architecture is great including the 1872 Trap Falls Schoolhouse, 1822 Brownson House, 1860 Wilson Barn and the (unknown) tool shed showcase history without and with shadows. Of course, the much newer (but still old :) cars draw me in as always. I like the custom 1956 Ford F-100 truck, the red 1959 Edsel (I have seen since 2009 and even posted about it back then) but my favorites were two: the restored 1957 milk truck and a gorgeous Pink 1957 Ford Thunderbird that includes Betty Boop. It was a hot day with enough shade for a brief cool-down). Plenty of shadows to enjoy with the history...

The scenes and day were just right for an article in our Valley-Voice newsletter

Friday Hunt, 2017.1.5

Friday returns so we are ready for Teresa's fun photo meme, Friday Hunt. In week 5 of 2017, she provides the following clues...

Begins with 'E'. Here would be the Equestrian event at Santa Anita Park in August 1984 at the Olympics in Los Angeles. This equine cleared the hurdle nicely! 

Vehicular 'E's include a nice 1964 Chevrolet El Camino, capturing myself in my 'directors chair'; To the right is the 'gunsight' fender ornament on a 1959 Edsel, its failure costing Ford Motor Co. a $250 million loss ($2 Billion today). Despite the business fail, it is a magnificent 'E' and cool car!

Week's Favorite: Patti captured this Cardinal landing in the forsythia by the house Wednesday after a snowfall. With his tail still moving, it is my February favorite...

Personal. A print taken on 1 January 1989, it is me with firstborn Allegra before her trip home from the hospital. Thanks for the  meme Teresa!
