Friday Hunt 2017.2.16

It has been interesting week with our son in Brooklyn having a major operation to repaired fractured his hip in a bicycling accident and will be convalescing back home (he already works from home with a company supplied laptop and phone).

So happily, reality can be swept aside and I can enjoy this week’s great Meme, Friday Hunt, kindly hosted by Teresa. On to the prompts…

Starts with P. This letter has lots of possibilities. On Top, the always lovely Patti as a passenger taking a photograph. In the middle, the iconic Eiffel Tower in the city of light, Paris. Our daughter Allegra captured this on a tour bus when on a school trip. Finally, we are grilling Portuguese Bread along with Pork and dining on our Patio. This is a Pretty good selection of the letter P :)
Surprise. I did have to look around and this looks like surprise to me anyway - and to Allegra at her second birthday party with her mom adding to the surprise. Or not, perhaps this is the first time she had to blow out the candles…
Looking up. Well, true to my blogging namesake, it would be in the air. Both pics were scanned from prints from decades ago - and they are planes (another ‘p’), First is from 1983 a USAF C5-A approaching Runway 24 at Bradley International (Hartford CT). Below that was at an air show in 1985, and it is a wing walker. Naturally, I had to look up to catch movement in the sky. Great prompts this week Teresa!

Shadow Shot Sunday - Shadowy craft

We found a bunch of prints in a box on Monday. From the summer of 1999,  this bunch of pixelated photos brought back memories, and I am sharing a couple for this week's Shadow Shot Sunday 2. Here is August of '99 at an air show at Barnes Airport in Westfield MA. The Thunderbirds performed on this warm day and we are seeking shade under the wings if the aircraft on static display. Here, daughter Allegra (10), son Cam (8), Patti and I (in the chair) watch the goings-on with shadows all around and a CT Air National Guard A-10 in the background. As I remember, it was an excellent day and nice memories...
