The Weekend Roundup 'H'

It's a rainy Friday in Ansonia, so a perfect day to search the photo archives for Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. 'H' is the letter for the week, and I am ready!

The first this week is Horse, and this horse's name is Huckleberry. What a majestic look!
Next is a fire truck from our closest firehouse in Ansonia, Hilltop Hose. The volunteer companies in Ansonia are very responsive...
Then there is Hair Salon. This is Invent Hair in our neighbor to the north, Seymour CT.
Our state capitol is Hartford CT. The view is from I-91 North. The onion dome is from the 1865 Colt Armory building undergoing renovation. Patti captured this from the passenger seat - gotta stay safe!
House. This is the family homestead, December 1975 in East Hartford, CT. Six of the seven Villers kids are here on a snowy day.

Friday Hunt, 2017.1.3

Friday returns and a favorite meme, Friday Hunt hosted by Teresa. She offers the clues, and we respond...

Starts with 'C'.I chose late navy pilot and astronaut Eugene Cernan, who passed away this week - the last person to walk on the moon in 1972...
I believe this publicity pic was from 1965. Here is the gentleman in 1965 or so. My father worked in public relations for the rocket motor manufacturer United Aircraft (now United Technologies) and he gave all Villers kids autographed copies. Alas, this is the only copy this one is all I can find.

Signed with a ballpoint pen now faded, this copy was autographed (ballpoint pen) for my sister Vicki. I found this photo a couple of years ago and scanned it waiting for the time to post it (and that is not me :) A significant and historical 'C'
Week's Favorite. At the Kellogg Environmental Center in Derby CT, we see a turtle looking at the photographer with perhaps a look of disdain or bemusement, apparently asking the paparazzi "Are you looking at me??"
Odd Angle. I think it's angular. The always lovely Patti is taking a selfie of sorts from the passenger seat of the Grand Caravan along I-91 North in Middletown CT.  I suppose the Camera could be a 'C' too. As always, a fun meme Teresa!
