Friday Hunt 2017.2.25

It is time again for Teresa's fun meme, Friday Hunt. Next week means the completion of four series of this fun meme and I've so enjoyed them all. Thanks Teresa for hosting and I hope your school workload can lessen by the end of the school year...onward to the prompts.

Starts with 'Y'. Yellow works for me as in this sunset from our back yard on a warmer day.
This pic is from 1990 and is my friend with his vehicle du jour a yellow 1977 Chevy Monza. I believe its days were numbered when the photo was taken...
Here is around Christmas 1975, the yellow family home in East Hartford, CT. Six of the seven Villers children are posing for Grandpa, the photo-taking patriarch.
'Y' can also mean young. Allegra (2 years 1 month) and her baby brother Cameron pose for Mom. They were quite young then. I have no Idea what the baby fund so amusing :)
Tree. The aforementioned children were climbing a tree when they were caught in the act...
Another tree, this fabulous birch tree at the Ansonia Nature & Recreation center. This three trunk beauty was planted in 1994, this photo captured in 2016.
Shadow. It was a chance to capture my reflection as a photographer in the mirror on the this old Chevy Nova. A nice shadow was the artistic upshot.

Friday Hunt 2017.2.1

It is Friday and time for the second installment for the year of the fun meme Friday Hunt, hosted by Teresa. And away we go...

Begins with 'A'. I think back to family vacations along the New Jersey shore at Atlantic City. I looked through my photo archives through four decades, so am using these for this week's favorite letter.

1965, the Villers kids & Dad riding on the boardwalk
1956. Grandpa in front of the long gone Traymore Hotel
1969, Grandpa & Aunt Terry, again in front of the Traymore
1978, Grandma Agnes (another 'A') in front of the first casino in AC
Sunset. From November 1981, the setting sun along the Mass. Turnpike near Worcester from the passenger seat of a Subaru. The old print held up well...
Inside. the time was the summer of 2003, inside our living room and our (hi-tech) computer of the day. Not blazing fast but safely inside and away from the elements. Thanks Teresa!

Friday Hunt 2016-2.25

It is again Friday and time for Teresa's fun photo meme, Friday Hunt. She provided the clues, we look for pics to match.

Starts with Y. I have two, the first being that odd double yolk that the always lovely Patti was making for breakfast (I don’t like fried eggs, so I passed). I recognize that ratty old non-stick skillet that lots of food stuck to…

Another ‘Y’ is Yale University in New Haven its campus about nine miles from home. Here are two residence halls at Yale, their names unknown to me. Of course, the pics were taken when it was warm out :)
Week's Favorite. Patti attended an Ansonia community forum on Tuesday at First Baptist Church a mere half-mile from home. I am most impressed with our three-term Mayor Dave Cassetti church, the biggest booster of our small city. He comfortably listens Ansonia Police Chief Kevin Hale make a point to the assembled residents. I don’t know why, I really like this natural photo!
Festive. I think a shot of our two kids on Christmas Day 1993, aged 5 and 3. Of course the children are awake pretty early on Dec 25. A wagon, Snow White, Goofy, plastic bowling and tool kit and two of the seven dwarfs. A nice view of a festive day. Thanks again Teresa!
