Shadow Shot Sunday - Suburban

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 arrives for the week. We often look for the unique and artistic. Yet in the suburban Ansonia Uplands, the artistry is often lost in the mundane, However in the shadow world, we cannot necessarily determine what is true art - unless it jumps at us...

Upon arriving home yesterday, and upon the powering open the sliding door and ramp after transferring into the wheelchair, I saw meme ready shadows. Where? On the ramp, the ground and the house. Not to mention a reflection or two, inside and out.

Friday was a fine day, especially after the earlier week's days of a gray mist and fog. A pleasant 70°F (21°C) with blue skies leaves for mundane suburban shots that are disarmingly nice. And with shadows to see that announce SSS2 - see more pf the shadowy environment  at this very fun meme!

Tina's WW - Birthday boy at 2

It's 1992 and two-year old birthday boy Cameron receives a video of his favorite Disney characters – we think he likes it! See Tina’s WW!

Tina's Pic Story - Self portrait

Tina's Pic Story is back - she challenges us with a theme to which we add our photo entries and commentary. For her weekly theme, self-portrait, we add our views - serious or fun, posed or not. This is a view of me, around or in my 'vehicles', the wheelchair and the Dodge, point and shoot in both. Each taken on nice days - and happily posted in Tina's fun meme!

Ruby Tuesday - Mother's Day Appetizer

Bruschetta...prepared by Ralph and Allegra and captured by Cameron

Ruby Tuesday 2 is back, with a simple appetizer prepared yesterday for a Mother's Day dinner (naturally, the two moms are the lovely Patti and her mom Marion). The simple chopped and marinated tomatoes were placed upon oven toasted ciabatta bread - it was sliced thin, so it was the perfect platform for the already mentioned tomatoes. Simple eats here that add a red to today - delicious in taste and ruby too!

Whimsical Windows - By the lake

A special day by the lake captured by Patti...

Toby hosts a great meme, Whimsical Windows - Delirious Doors. We look around for windows, doors and accompanying architectural gems...

Years ago, Patti and I attended a wedding at the beautiful Candlewood Inn situated alongside its named lake in Western Connecticut. 

I really like the venue with the water in the background, and am really fond of the very tall arched window that allows the diffused lighting to fall over the person and allowing shadows and reflections to add a nice glow to this fine day 

At this point in the reception the lovely bride is shown, maybe after the bouquet was tossed. The blend of window, shadow and beauty is undeniable. I have always liked the series of window views from that day, merely waiting for the right moment to post it – and this fun meme is just the place – thanks Toby! 

(I note that the date is stamped on the photo - I found that trying to erase the stamp only detracted, so it stays - the day so much fun that the stamp matters not…)
