The Weekend Roundup 'E'

It's Friday and Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup is back. Onward to this week's prompts...

Starts with 'E'. I'll go with Eggs (Eggland's Best brand, hence the stamp :) and an Egg dish, a frittata we made awhile back with peppers, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, cream and mozzarella. A tasty 'E'!
Then there is East Hartford, Connecticut - where I grew up. This is Easter Sunday 1964 in front of our Wickham Drive home. I'm the only boy here...
And how about Equestrian? This old print was taken at the 1984 Olympics at Santa Anita Park in the foothills above Los Angeles. The horses were beautiful, all mostly chestnut, some with braided manes. 
A Favorite. The always lovely Patti places eggshells outside for the Blue Jays as we understand they like the shells. Here, she captured one lucky bird! 
Evening. The moon arises on Winter's evening over our neighbor's roof. A very cold eve but a beautiful sky.

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 Caminocapturing 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!
