Friday Hunt 2017.2.11

Friday Hunt, hosted by Teresa, is here on a warm and humid day in Southern New England. Not that I’m complaining with what the weather events lave been in Houston and Jacksonville, but this a blog that keeps my mind off the news!

Starts with ‘K’. I have a few of. First is from a vacation from 2006 (and the last time we were there, Kalmus Beach on Hyannis Harbor on Cape Cod. It is a neat place as there is one beach on the harbor (see the nice sailboats at their anchorages)…and another sandy seascape around the corner on Nantucket sound. Two entirely different beaches that share the same parking lot/car park…

Then there is Karate, here at last year’s Ansonia Harvest Festival street fair. These two have been paying attention to their teachers!

Stinky. I couldn’t find the obvious (skunk?) but found from December 1980 a swamp in Florida’s Martin County. I don’t remember if it did, but perhaps a brackish swamp might fit the bill. Or not…

Old. Perhaps a bone-shaker bicycle on steel tires with no springs from the 1880’s will do nicely. What a difference when compared wit today’s bicycles with titanium frames, 21-speeds and suspensions. Back then, who cared about springs? Great prompts Teresa!

Friday Hunt, 2017.1.16

It is a rainy Friday on the East Coast, a perfect time for Teresa's fun photo meme, Friday Hunt. Here is my look at this week's clues:

Starts with P. First is the Keystone State Pennsylvania, here being the old US-22 entering from Weirton WV. Next is a Packard, a gorgeous restored 1955 Packard Clipper Constellation Panama (really :) and the final 'P' is Patti's 2005 capture of the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty on the Seine in Paris, a great look at two iconic sites 

Week's Favorite. This is a view of Ansonia CT looking downtown from the Ansonia Armory. here we see from on high an old church, old fire station and two old factories on a Spring day. An old mill town here looking as if likely did a century ago...

Foot/feet. This was taken at a wedding in 2004, and I attempted to capture Patti and three of her colleagues at the event. Except I must have mis-aimed the camera while sitting in my wheelchair...and their heads are missing here - a mishap that made for a great capture anyway as we see their feet almost perfectly. Lovely ladies all, Patti is the one in blue :)
