Tina's Pic Story - Round

1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible - a classic in its period two-tone red and white paint...

Tina has kindly provided this week's fun Pic Story. Her challenge today is the theme round. So, we add our photos that comply with the theme. I think that I may have found one...

Old American cars, favorites of mine, perhaps can meet the shape requirement. How does this 1960 wonder with fins do so? I see three particular items: the round wire wheel set into the round tire. And, the Impala, the top of the line Chevy, always had three round taillights on each side (unlike the lesser and cheaper Bel-Air and Biscayne which had two round taillights...)

A Chevrolet with a few circular details. Who would have thought of that?

Ruby Tuesday - Classic Mattel

Ruby Tuesday 2 is back, and the past seems alive this year...The classic toy maker Mattel has made since 1959 the famous doll Barbie. What is interesting is that Patti has a 1960 version of this character in the striped swimsuit, accessories and ruby 1963 doll case. I think Skipper is her little sister (?). The dolls and accessories are in good shape, and we also have Tammy (from competitor Ideal Toys). Ebay perhaps? I had five sisters, Barbies were all around too in our home. Ruby red is what makes RT2 do what it does best!

Whimsical Windows - Atypical

First apartment, Hillside Street-Burnside Avenue area East Hartford, Connecticut - 1979

Toby hosts the very fun meme Whimsical Windows-Delirious Doors in which we look for portals of distinction - or not so serious. Today I am traveling back decades, more specifically somewhere in time about 1979. This was the living room my first apartment after college. I refer to this post as atypical, as this defies the usual stereotype of the slob single male at the end of the disco decade. What is different here is the foliage, the plants that sit in the window instead of empty malt beverage containers...I always had the idea of plants in the window. The scan of the old print is faded and full of blemishes. Happily my memories have not faded too much :)

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!
