Pic Story - Shadows inside (and out)

Tina's Pic Story returns, the simple instructions as follows: Tina provides the weekly theme, we provide the photo to explain. This week we are looking for shadows.

The photographer waits in his vans for family members to return. With the Canon point-and-shoot in hand, the scene is assessed while looking for a subject. As none jumped at me, I chose myself,  shadows appearing inside and out. Hopefully I explained it well...

Ruby Tuesday - The opposite of white

Ruby Tuesday 2 reappears in this generally warm New England winter. Is the weather this year typical? Au contraire!

It is not at all like last year. We see here 12 January 2011, and in the new snow blankets everything except the two small rubies: a neighbor's house and the stop sign on the corner. What a difference...See many more reds at RT2!

Whimsical Windows - Portal in Red

Toby hosts the fun weekly meme, Whimsical Windows / Delirious Doors. In this, we look for windows, doors, and other architectural gems. I am in hometown of Ansonia CT. This is Christ (Episcopal) Church. This stone edifice is the third building of the congregation, and was of opened in 1896. What stands out is the door, painted in red as per the Episcopalian custom in the northeast US. The stonework is beautiful, the windows also a classic 19th century style found in all these old industrial towns - it still works well through the decades and centuries...

Shadow Shot Sunday - Sandy Shadow

A mighty fortress on Craigville Beach? Photo by Patti

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 arrives again, and although it has been a warm(ish) winter this year, it is still the season it is. Naturally, we have desires to warm things up a bit so how about a trek to the beach, This view promotes sand, surf, saltwater, seaweed, sun and...a shadow! This fortress looks as if it may disappear after the next high tide. In which case, intrepid sand architect and builder can begin anew...to see shadowy specimens showcased, see SSS2!

29 Days - Candlelight Dinner?

Who does not enjoy candlelight at dinner?

Ambience and elegance are a nice touch. But for a cat?

Well, Linus shows that he has some manners - look how politely he sits pretty at his place at the table...
