Friday Hunt, 2017.1.10

With an Arctic front now enveloping the Northeast USA, it is again time for Teresa's fun photo meme, Friday Hunt. Today the tenth letter of the alphabet is prominent...

Starts with 'J'. This is a bit harder to showcase straight up, but peripherally I think so. So, my choice today is the Garden State, New Jersey. I go way back for my first three Jersey pics, vacations on the Atlantic on the barrier island of Brigantine - in a day where lots of independent motels existed, not like today where everything is a time share. However, the briny air and crashing waves still remain to this day :)

Week's Favorite. Patti captured this moonrise about four hours ago outside our front door in Ansonia. The snow ended, the cold front is here and the sky is perfect to see the moon in all its glory

Birds. This is the scene on Pickett's Pond at Osbornedale State Park in Derby yesterday, when it was a warm 61°F (16°C) - figure 15°F tonight. The gulls look relaxed then, probablynot so much with ice on the pond. So, Winter remains :(

Shadow Shot Sunday - Looking Warmer

It is cold in the Winter of 2017 in Southern New England. However, there are days that are unseasonably warm (that is, not quite as chilly). Here we are facing north on the Ansonia River Walk alongside the Naugatuck River. The long southerly sun makes for a great subject for Shadow Shot Sunday 2. It may not be the yellow brick road, but the shadows point the way onward - but not to Kansas, alas, Dorothy and Toto...
