Ruby Tuesday - Graduate

University of Hartford - Alumnae (2010) and Graduate, 12 Dec 2012

Ruby Tuesday 2 is back as I return to yesterday and a special event - the graduation ceremony of son Cameron. This is a perfect ruby as the colors of the University of Hartford are Red and white. The programs and gown details have that brilliant cover. I chose the view of Cameron and Allegra, she also a graduate of the same U of H. The prints were taken on the on-campus Lincoln Theater...Cam gets his degree in computer science and he will do well with those software development - however, he is a person of character and honor and will do even better with those. Congratulations!

Whimsical Windows - Olde world

Toby hosts the fun architectural meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors where we look for the unique. As I have been scanning many old prints, I chose these as different in character than we may be used to. The time is August 1982, the place the charming town of Stadthagen, 40 or so km from Hanover. The buildings date back hundreds of years and look it...I assume that on the left is a tavern - the keg over the door indicates beer is sold - Schaumburger is the local brew, but guess that symbols spoke to those who could not read. To the right is a building of indeterminate use - what appeals here is the date on the building of 1743; I like the herringbone styles upstairs. Windows and doors from long ago were functional when made and stylish now!

Shadow Shot Sunday / SOOC - Olympics by day

Swim stadium, USC, L.A., August 1984

The past is back at Shadow Shot Sunday 2 - and given the amount of prints from the past scanned, I revert to August 1984 and the Olympics held in Los Angeles. This is the swimming venue is on the campus of USC. This print was buried in a box and in good shape for scanning and as it appears a nice day in the LA basin - not too hot, nor humid and kind of smog free. If only winter in the Northeast US were this nice, sunny and shadowy...

As I have not edited this old print (save for cropping it), I am also adding it to the new SOOC Sunday (Straight out of the Camera), hosted by MMT and Gemma. I like multitasking...

Ruby Tuesday 2 - Tally Ho, ruby wool

Ruby Tuesday 2 is back for te week - and as I am in the mode of scanning old prints lately, I am ready with a bold ruby. It is from August 1984 at an equestrian showjumping event at te Los Angels Olympics. I love the splendor of the beautiful horses, some with braided manes. And the olde world ruby wool uniforms are probably uncomfortable to wear at the very hot Santa Anita Park. However, what price/style is matters not here...

Whimsical Windows - One if by land in Boston

Toby hosts the fun architectural meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors - with digital photo devices nearby, we are ready for unique sights. This is a favorite view of mine and was taken by the always lovely Patti on a June night, as we return to our hotel after a fun day in the Hub. The old buildings have their classic shapes, the brick walkway is in fine shape, the tourists are dressed for the warmth and the small lights are a nice accent to the scene. Travels out of town are fun and always picturesque...
