Shadow Shot Sunday - Fund-raising shadows

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 returns, as do I. Last Saturday was an event that Patti and I attended: the CT (bike) Challenge. Over 1000 bicyclists participated by riding courses from 10-180 miles (16-290 km) to raise funds for their cancer survivorship programs. And they have been very helpful to Patti as she is in a weekly exercise program for breast cancer survivors. It was a beautiful day for all who rode, the BBQ for all (our post) was plentiful and most importantly, the feelings of affirmation for cancer survivors and their supporters. 

And of course under the blue sky and sun were shadows. Nobody could ask for more! See Patti's NH Register blog post and...I was able to compile Patti's photos in the following slideshow - of a very affirmative day :)

Whimsical Windows - Hunt Club

Toby hosts the fun architectural meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors. We look at interesting buildings and details for inspiration. On Saturday, Patti and I attended a great fundraising event, the CT (bike) Challenge. Over 1000 bicyclists rode courses from 10 to 180 miles (16-290 km) to raise funds for cancer survivor programs - Patti is involved with a training and conditioning aftercare herself. The event was held at the Fairfield County Hunt Club in Westport CT, and it is a tony place as typified by their 1924 clubhouse - with a hint of elegance. What is not seen here is the huge swath of green that is the place of the show jumping events...slightly out of reach for us :) Tally ho!
