Shadow Shot Sunday - Shadowy Route

It's Shadow Shot Sunday 2 time again. Last Sunday, we participated at the  CDR Wheel-a-Thon. This was a walk/roll benefit event for a cross-disability center for independent living. Held along Long Island Sound in West Haven CT, the day started cloudy, but in less than an hour, the southerly autumnal sun shone bright and warm (77°F / 25°C). Perfect day and route for shadows of course...taken by the always lovely Patti, one being Allegra walking past a spilled water bottle and goldenrod lining part of the route. Nice event, day and shadows. A nice trifecta :)

Wordless Wednesday - Wheel-a-Thon 2015

Yesterday was the Wheel-a-Thon to benefit the cross disability non-profit Center for Disability Rights in West Haven, CT. While it looks like I was leading, I was actually catching up to my team, Daughter Allegra poses and the Long Island Sound murk gave way to sunny skies...see WW

Ruby Tuesday Too - Ruby event

We look for ruby artifacts and such in homage to our favorite color for Ruby Tuesday Too. This view from yesterday was taken at 10th annual Wheel-A-Thon along Long Island Sound in West Haven Connecticut. This walk/roll is a benefit the nonprofit and cross-disability Center for Disability Rights. Red details abound in the signs, banners, flag and clothing. Here the singer sings the national anthem before the walkers and wheelchair rollers beginning their start along the course. This is a nice event for a nice cause and highlighting our favorite hue...

Ruby Tuesday Too - Subtle event reds

I have been away but am happy today to participate again in Ruby Tuesday Too - where any shade of red will do. On Saturday, we participated in the Wheel-a-Thon, a walk / wheelchair roll event. I have been a board member, member, employee and now contractor for the organization hosting the event, the Center for Disability Rights (CDR) in West Haven, CT - a cross-disability center for independent living. Prior to the start, we see reds all over, although not one dominating the scene: a guitar strap, a sign of the event's sponsors, a red umbrella highlight and the woman to the left with the red hair - she sang the national anthem (and very well too :). Many a ruby to admire...

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back, and shadowy last Sunday shots are featured today. Here is along the beach in West Haven CT at the Wheel-a-Thon for a disability rights non-profit, a non-competitive, awareness raising walk and/or wheelchair roll to raise college scholarships. Fun was had by all on all teams including ours in our team's pink shirts from last year's Griffin Hospital walk for Patti. Shadows were all over beautiful morning by Long Island Sound. Fun, awareness style and shadow work well together...

Ruby Tuesday Too is back as we scramble to find the favored hue of red. I found mine yesterday morning on the beach walkway in West haven CT at a fundraiser for our local disability rights non-profit, CDR, the Wheel-a-Thon. It is a walk and/or wheelchair roll; not competitive but to raise awareness about disabilities as well as funds for college scholarships. And for those who try to ambulate via wheelchair on the route  - even the strongest individual has to strain to push a heavy (40 lb/18 kg) hospital style wheelchair along broken pavement. But fun was had by all on a beautiful morning by Long Island Sound. Fun and awareness go hand in hand...see Patti's Newspaper Blog Post for more pics of the event...
