Tina hosts the fun Pic Story, where she kindly supplies the weekly photo theme and we comply with our pics. This week the theme is Liquid and I look to a family meal at a local restaurant. The aperitif drinks offer such liquid, such as the delicious and stylish drinks enjoyed by two in our party - the cosmopolitan (Cosmo), a tart and tasty cocktail that is a nice peach color. The glasses are uniquely stylish too. I am unsure if what was in the other, but it was liquid-y as well. I think that I met the theme :)

| A familiar landmark. Taken by Patti, 2005 |
Tina's fun meme Pic Story is back, and as usual, she provides the theme - and we comply with pictures. This week, the theme is Interesting...in this photo, without saying what it is, we know what it is. It is, of course, the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Taken by the lovely Patti years ago, this massive steel tower is big (324m / 1,063 ft tall) - yet with the evening lighting, the heavy steel looks almost like lace...so delicate. A nice and interesting visual effect as it reaches the sky!

| East Shore, New Haven Connecticut Harbor, 2003 |
Plenty of things offer beauty that we admire. For me today, it is a shot captured on the East Shore of New Haven Harbor. In a series of pictures that we took about 10 years ago, the nighttime is now filtering in...the view is a bit crooked as I tried to balance the camera from the wheelchair. Not a perfect photo in layout, yet the edge of night captures us as it rolls in. Perhaps the end of a perfect day!

| Oval Roma Tomatoes |

| Omelette (tomatoes, potatoes, onions, peppers, mozzarella) |
Actually, these flowers were photographed last May...but still work for this week's subject on Tina's Pic Story which is April Flowers. I like azaleas as these are on the north shady side of our home and the flowers grow without any fertilizer work. Well, they do have to be pruned occasionally, but that's not so much work as perhaps done with love. Happy Spring!
Tina's Pic Story is back - she suggests the theme which this week is Bottom-up...we supply pictures to match. Today, I choose the view up to the north tower of the Zakim/Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge in Boston. Carrying Route I-93 over the Charles River, the top of the wishbone shaped north tower is 322 Feet (98 M) above the water. Function and style exist nicely together as we look up in awe...

| A burst of sun settles over the Uplands of Ansonia Connecticut |
Tina's Pic Story is the fun weekly meme hosted by her - we post the pics to match the theme she provides, which this week is the sonne/sun. This is the sun rising over the neighborhood after an icy night before. The solar heat is melting the ice from the leafless shrubs and trees...promising a nice winter day. Ice may be a nuisance, but it can look really nice...

| Nice Day, our patio in July |
Tina is back with her fun meme Pic Story. The process is simple - she provides the weekly theme and we match that with our photos. This week, it is the letter 'N'. I found three items that should word: The city of New Haven, the state of New York, and our home on a Nice Day. I trust that I have met the theme!

| Sleeping children in their car seats make parents happy. |
Tina's Pic Story is back, and she allows for the weekly theme of happiness. In this seen before photo, happy is in our two children, grown now but babies once. We were happy that they were healthy...and happier on this day in 1990 when the slept peacefully in their car seats. Happy both ways!

| Statue of Liberty/ Statue de la Liberté in Paris, April 2005 |
Tina's Pic Story is back, the rule simple: we provide the pictures to match with the weekly theme she kindly provides. This week's theme is pointed or spiky...either Patti or Allegra took this in Paris and the familiar silhouette of the Statue de la Liberté replica on the L'île aux Cygnes. The spikes are seen on the crown of the monument to liberty, while the Eiffel Tower in the distance has a bit of a spike on top also. It looks to be near sunset and the raised arm holds its torch, a beacon still to liberty...

| Route US-22 west, about 25 miles/40 Km west of Pittsburgh |
Tina hosts her fun meme Pic Story - we provide the pictures to the weekly theme she supplies, which this week is the letter 'M'. For this post, I have a motoring theme. Three of these were taken by a passenger as I drove (the safer way :). 'M' is all over with statism towns and trucks supplying the thirteenth letter for today...

| Colt Building alongside I-91, Hartford, CT |

| A closer look from the highway at the 'Onion Dome'...Photos by Patti |
Tina's Pic Story returns as we post to her meme to the chosen weekly theme, which this week is roofs. On our travels as I drive, Patti takes pictures of interest along the road, and I have found two views of the same roof that nicely fit the theme.At the left, alongside the I-91 expressway is the onion dome of the old Colt Armory building, completed in 1867, the familiar Onion Dome shape is seen from a distance. The next is a closer look at this blue beauty with its golden stars and orb. A great old roof in pics...
Tina's Pic Story is back - the theme this week provided by Tina is Fences. This iron fence is on the street side of the Elm Street Cemetery or Old Episcopal Graveyard in Ansonia. It is reputed by some to be the oldest burial ground in the US; The oldest remaining marker is that of Rev. John Bowers, a clergyman who died in 1687. I do not know the age of the fence, guess from the 1800s. It is a fascinating place to visit as the headstones tell stories of area residents from centuries before. A fence that surrounds history...
