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 2017.2.20

It is Friday and time for this week's fun photo meme, Friday Hunt kindly hosted by Teresa. Here are the pics and prompts...

Starts with ’T'. What’s obvious, at least in our Ansonia backyard, is tree. So first we have a sunset over the treeline in September.

Next, and not to jump the season is the lighted holiday tree at Veteran’s Park next to Ansonia’s city hall. This was from last year and on a clear cold night, it is beautiful.

Next is combination of ’T’ and Black & White. I believe this to be 1957, and my Aunt Terry sitting in front of Grandpa’s famous Christmas tree, and he loved Tinsel, which this tree has lots of! He really loved it as we can see :)

Now I combine Black & White and Paper. This is a fun shot from 1985 where Patti and her newspaper colleagues posing with a newspaper at the defunct (in 1992) Evening Sentinel. More fun is a look at early office computers and 1980s hair styles. I grew up in a home where ‘the Paper’ meant a newspaper. I miss ‘the Paper’ in this digital media age...

Wordless Wednesday - Santa Claus arrived in Ansonia

Our small city of Ansonia had its tree lighting by city hall on Friday. Not only was the evergreen lit, music was played, Santa arrived and wishes were made on a cold clear night...see more WW at NC Sue

Shadow Shot Sunday - Nighttime Holiday Shadows

In the US, the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is a festive time with colored lights are seen all over. So for today's Shadow Shot Sunday 2, I am showcasing the scene after last night's Christmas Tree lighting at Ansonia's Veteran's Park next to city hall. After the hundreds of visitors, Santa and the children who made their wishes to him have left, we see the tree in all its glory. However, the lighting from above allows for shadows to fall from the adjacent tree, adorned with a ruby glow from the star of the park. So it is not just the brilliance of the that captures our eyes, it is too the subtle shadows that add a bit of glow on this cold windy night...
