Wordless Wednesday - Crossing the Eras

A beautiful shot by the always lovely Patti - the Iconic Brooklyn Bridge (1883), taken by chance along the Brooklyn side of the East River - the modern skyline will never dwarf the most beautiful bridge ever...see WW and WW

Whimsical Windows - Deck the Yard winner

Finally my computer woes are in the past (sort of) as I have acquired a used Windows 7 machine - I preferred my Mac, but for the money, it works fine as opposed to not working at all...thus, I have a belated post for Toby's Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors. It is the winning house of the 2014 in the Ansonia Deck the House and Yard competition. Being the chair of this subcommittee in the contest, the judges chose this is the overall winner - I like this house as it never encroaches into the gaudy, but remains a stylish older house that is nice with verandas, windows and doors of a more dignified era - that is smartly lit in holiday warmth...

Shadow Shot Sunday - Still Decorated (Guest post by Patti!)



Happy January, Shadow Shot friends!

I asked Ralph if I could do another "guest post" to keep in touch here. I still don't have a personal blog to use.

After I took a photo of my snowman friend, I noticed some shadows..

I must admit I've been putting off taking down Yuletide decorations. There are two reasons:

1) I enjoy the season, and 2) I'm lacking motivation.

But it's on my to-do list! 

Shadow Shot Sunday - Cozy Coupe Cute

My computer woes are solved, for now, When the Mac died, I purchased a used Windows 7 machine locally. Since I had to retrieve my data and pics from iDrive and my Mac external drive would not upload into a Win computer, I have spent a large part of the week e-mailing myself photos and such from Patti's computer. I finally have time to post a post (!) for Shadow Shot Sunday 2. It is a photo I found from 1990, and Allegra about to enter her ride to 'drive', her first car - a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe. We parents were not afraid...how much trouble could an 18 month old get into driving a pedal powered vehicle?
