Whimsical Windows - Sunshine State Sunburst

On the way to West Palm Beach on a Delta Tri-Star, Dec. 23, 1980

Toby hosts the fun meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors where we look for portals of interest. Last week I unearthed and scanned 41 prints from a trip to Florida to visit friends in December 1980.

This window view was taken on a Delta Airlines flight somewhere over the Atlantic coast of the Sunshine State. Time has not been kind to this print, so I edited in into black and white - however, the sunburst that peers around the edge of the window is equally bold in monochrome or in color...

Whimsical Windows - Austere in Paradise

Toby most graciously hosts the fun meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors. Today is an architectural oddity ins style...on Saturday, my daughter found am old photo book from 1980 which chronicled a vacation trip to visit old friends in Florida. And while scanning photos, I found this. A church, and what I find so different is the plain style - not New England Puritan and no Spanish influences one might expect in the Sunshine State. Yet its plain shape is most appealing to me. With nothing ornate to distract us, we can focus on the one true God alone. Which makes this such a lovely building...

Tina's Pic Story - H

Hedge in front of our Home, Ansonia CT, early spring

Tina's Pic Story is back for the week, and we are happy to participate. She thoughtfully provides the weekly theme that we provide the photos for. This week, it is the letter H, and I have visited the photo archives for examples of that letter which includes Hedge, High Tide and Hounds...I hope this works!

High tide     Big sister Michele, Atlantic Ocean, 1961

Hounds, Maggie and Tasha, East Hartford, CT 1980

Tina's Pic Story - Azure

Intercostal Waterway near Stuart, Florida, Dec. 1980

Wetlands near Jensen Beach Florida, Dec. 1980

Tina is back with the fun weekly picture meme Pic Story. Simply, she thoughtfully provides the theme which this week is azure. To me, this is a color that fits the waters of Florida and a trip there many decades ago. The inland waterway and the swamp have azure blue waters that have remained while scanned from the old prints. A lovely color and a great subject this week!
