Shadow Shot Sunday - One day in Ansonia

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is a great purveyor of, well...shadows. There are spectacular shadows to see and/or capture. However, in our daily environs, we see them too. So in one day, a few were caught and deemed perfect for today's post. On top, a shadow starts to encroach on a wall in our home coming close to Patti's photo art Reservoir Ripples that stands out on our newly painted wall.

Later, we went for dinner at Ansonia's Copper City Cafe. The always lovely Patti saw a shadowy lamppost on a new restaurant under construction. Mundane maybe,  but prominent. Finally, shadows radiate around Patti's entree, which was sea scallops (with a malt vinegar reduction), polenta and asparagus with the requisite side order of shadows - everyday shadows...

Friday Hunt, 2017.1.11

Happy St. Patricks Day - we had a pizza for dinner (corned beef on Sunday). Friday returns, as does Teresa's fun meme, Friday Hunt. She gives us the clues, and following are mine:

Starts with 'K'. I choose Kids, our two, Allegra and Cameron. To the left is the first day of school 1998, fifth and third grade. To the right, now grown at a family wedding in 2015. New dress, new suit and tie and we can tell they're not in grade school anymore...

Week's Favorite. Patti again is the source for the favorite as she chases through the patio door cardinals and blue jays, this jay taken yesterday. Instead of the normal squawking and aggressive blue jay, her is a more dignified bird. Until he/she isn't...

Drink. Here is a Cosmopolitan ordered by a family member in a cool glass at a now defunct Ansonia restaurant. Nice color and stylish presentation. Of course, there is a glass of water nearby to quench thirst in a not so stylish glass. Hydration is the key!
