Shadow Shot Sunday - Shadowy Ceremony

Patti got to the church on time...
Last time I wore a tux...

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 returns on a celebratory date in our home - today is the 28th anniversary of the day we wed, 10 May 1986. 

The day was beautiful, 72°F / 22°C, low in humidity and blue skies for the marriage day of the lovely Patti and myself. A day we happily remember, and with shadows that fall within and throughout the scanned prints.

Our first dance was to Lionel Richie...Happy anniversary mon ami!

Wordless Wednesday - Diplomacy

Nineteen-month old Cameron meets the normally standoffish Tiger for the first time. I'd say the meeting went well!

Ruby Tuesday Too - Wheelchair Putt

I hope the ball cleared the obstacle on its way to a hole-in-one...
Ruby Tuesday Too is back, and I have found an old ruby scene, perhaps peripheral to the entire scene - but red nonetheless. The time is in the last decade, maybe 2004, the place Main Street Mini-Golf emporium in Hyannis on Cape Cod, the subject myself. I like this place as the old-fashioned putt-putt course was accessible to my then Invacare power wheelchair. Kind of like the an expensive rental of a private golf cart at a nice country club. Thus I could putt away with confidence if not the low score...

Whimsical Windows - Saybrook Breakwater Light

It is again time for Toby's fun architectural meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors, and perhaps our subjects may be of much grandeur. Or a little - which this is. It is Connecticut's Saybrook breakwater light, sitting at the confluence of the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound and was opened in 1866 and is privately held today. I think we often look at lighthouses as being bigger and mightier, such as the famous Chatham Lighthouse on Cape Cod. However, any beacon of light that keeps ships in the channel and off the rocks is mighty indeed...

Shadow Shot Sunday - Hallway artist at work


For Shadow Shot Sunday 2, we may look for shadows as art. However here, the shadows are peripheral to the art...Patti captured this while researching a newspaper story - an artist was commissioned to create a mural in a hallway at Ansonia Middle School. The shadows seem to be under the ladder and lockers down the hall. Art offers us a different perspective depending on the venue it seems - and this is artistic indeed!
