The Weekend Roundup 'D'

Friday is here so it is time again for a great meme, The Weekend Roundup, hosted by Tom. The letter 'D' is this week's letter, and I have a few! Let us begin...
Starts with 'D'. Of course, my ride is a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan with a Braun wheelchair conversion. Suitably modified, it is my current four-wheel steed! 

Dodge vehicles are not exclusive to me (although I did own a 1979 Dodge Omni and 1989 Dodge B250 van previously). My Grandpa drove Dodge cars from 1936 to 1976). Here is Easter Sunday 1947 with my Dad (age 19) leaning on Grandpa's 1947 Dodge on Oregon Avenue in Steubenville, Ohio.

Patti captured this last week, it was a beautiful day on the town green of our neighboring town of Derby, Connecticut. It was a lovely Winter day if very cold - and this is my Favorite pic this week!

Finally, we have Ducks on the Housatonic River in Shelton Connecticut. This pic was taken on a warm day awhile ago - I wish it was as nice and warm as this today!

Details. I captured this wheel from wheelchair height on a 1936 Dodge at a local car show. The wheel is fully detailed with whitewalls and trim rings. Further details are seen in the brilliant chrome hub cap. Can you spot the photographer?

It has been a busy week with the Ansonia Harvest Festival last Saturday and work in the way. But now I am back for the fun meme Shadow Shot Sunday 2. Today, I am staying local and looking for shadows and finding a few. We can find many a shadow in nearby environs - we merely have to take a peek...

Shadow Shot Sunday -

It was a busy last weekend so I was remiss...but am back to Shadow Shot Sunday 2. Today, lovely photo princess Patti provides pictures with poses with shadowy and reflective highlights. First, Patti captured her shadow during Monday's solar eclipse. Being too far north in New England to get the full effect (it was not dark as night), Patti captured herself on the patio as the moon crossed. 

Last week, Patti's friend Donna invited her and Allegra for a boat ride on the Housatonic River. It was 10 minutes from the urban Valley we inhabit, but way different in character. Relaxing I was told, and the ladies do look relaxed indeed...

Along the river, it is a nice neighborhood with nice riverfront homes and docks (too rich for us, alas :) - and she also captured a home in which a plane on floats sits on the shore awaiting flight. What interesting events and places she captured!
