Tina's Pic Story - Light
Tina's fun meme Pic Story is back with the simple theme, we post to the weekly theme she kindly provides. This week the theme is light...I like the idea of many lights at night being on. During a previous snow storm, a picture taken by a point-and-shoot with the flash on, it was a snowy and windy night. However, not just the street light is illuminated, but many individual flakes were illuminated almost as orbs floating in the air. Lots of lights in the air - I hope the theme has been met with this story!Ruby Tuesday - Impala Run

Ruby Tuesday 2 returns, and what offers a bolder vision of ruby than an oversized but stylish early 1960s Chevrolet Impala? How about two? 1960 Impala convertible, 1961 Impala Super Sport both are bold red in paint and their trim with flags and letters in the favorite color for Tuesday and the jumping antelope too!

Whimsical Windows - St. Paul Skating Siblings
 |
| St. Paul Minnesota, Michele, Ralph, Claudia, Terry - 1959 |
 |
| Same house, 1983 |
To the left, siblings Michele (4), myself (3) and Claudia (2) are with Aunt Terry, and we were on our way to go Ice skating at a rink somewhere in the Twin Cities. The date stamp on the B&W print says January '59 (it looks like that era of suburban tract homes) at our house.To the right, I fast forward to August of 1983 where I was visiting St Paul. Without satellite maps, Mapquest, etc. I piloted my rental Toyota, found the house and captured same. Both photos were unearthed on Friday, and the idea of a post took hold - the late 1950s memories, albeit faded, are fun...
SOOC - Small city, small recognitions
SOOC- Straight out of the Camera - is back. In Friday's impromptu photo shoot in front of Ansonia City Hall, I captured as well a monument in front of the building. As our city is only 19,000 population, the recognition is important for the locals.
This is a monument to our volunteer fore department. Since we are not so large to have a paid firefighting force, it is the volunteers who risk life and limb and do so while being unpaid. The service of self is very important in the small burgs, a hint of the old adage...
All for one, one for all. A well deserved recognition...straight out of the camera!
