Ruby Tuesday Too - Steel-y Smile

Ruby Tuesday Too encourages the use of red in any shade, a lot or a little. On Saturday, we attended the first Ecofest in neighboing Derby highlighted a green theme and included a 'Trashformation' contest where items were recycled/repurposed into new items, including a robot created by our artist friend Rich Dicarlo. I find this fellow to be rather disarming, not really tough but as winsome as a steel robot can look - a personality that is happy-go-lucky, with 'hands' made out of Romex electrical cable. Reuse, recycle, repurpose - a ruby robot...

Whimsical Windows - More Main Street Madness

The older is reflected by the newer Wells Fargo Bank in Ansonia. Captured by Patti

Toby's architectural meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors returns and I have one other view of downtown in our small city of Ansonia, this also taken at a bank clad in its nondescript 1970s building - which has a lot of glass to reflect the early 1900s buildings across the street where steel and glass do not dominate but brick and wood add a classier styling touch...

Shadow Shot Sunday - Defying Gravity

For Shadow Shot Sunday 2, Patti captured a few views of the BMX stunt riders at the recent Pierre Lallement bicycle festival on Main Street in Ansonia. These riders move fast up to and over the ramps on the street and even a steep uphill set against the trailer - a very cool breeze wafted over the spectators, but just enough sun added to the shadowy captures. The riders seem to float through the air with the greatest of ease...

Ruby Tuesday Too - Red Ride

Ruby Tuesday Too takes me back a week or so in my pursuit of a ruby red subject - and I found it! on Ansonia's Main Street at the Pierre Lallement Bicycle Festival, talented New Jersey stunt bicyclist Chris Clark was showing some moves on his ruby bicycle in front of the red trailer while wearing a red helmet. Thus, the right color for this fun meme was found!

Whimsical Windows - Unfurled Flags

For Toby's architectural meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors, I go back a week to the Pierre Lallement bike festival in our small domicile of Ansonia Connecticut. A bike ride with serious cyclists starting in New Haven that has its finish line on Main Street, BMX stunt cyclists and more. And even a window reflection taken from the more modern (late 1960s) Wells Fargo Bank showcasing the early 1900s buildings across the street. Like in the meme's post, flags take up the focal points in the shot...Happy Independence Day to Israel!
