The Weekend Roundup - 'W'

It is Friday in Southern New England and time for this week's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup, hosted by Tom. Away we go!

Begins with 'W'. We start with daughter Allegra as she Walks by the Water of Long Island Sound in West Haven, CT 

The same young lady above was really little once. Here (9-10 months?) she is trying out a Walker to amble around our Derby apartment

Of course, there are Weddings. Here is my niece Julie in 2015.

Water, and a Favorite too! Just a couple of geese relaxing by Pickett's Pond at Osbornedale State Park in Derby CT. It is a serene scene indeed. Thanks Tom!

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 :)

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!
