Shadow Shot Sunday - Happy ever after continues

Arriving at the First Baptist Church, Ansonia CT, 10 May 1986

The always lovely Patti

It appears every year around the tenth of May...the anniversary of the day Patti and I wed, May 10, 1986. In views seen and appreciated for decades, we offer these two scenes for Shadow Shot Sunday 2, the bride straight out of the limo about to enter the church. Naturally, I did not take these views being at the altar ready to meet the always lovely Patti. But the legendary photographer of the (now defunct) Evening Sentinel, Ed Cotter, did. Shadows and sentiments are on display here of a wonderful 29 years of bliss... 

Wordless Wednesday - Director's Chair Captured

As I ambulate by wheelchair, give me a camera and I have a real director's chair. Like in a Hitchcock film, this 'director' gets a cameo in many a picture...see WW and WW

Whimsical Windows - St Margaret Mary

Welcome to the meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors, where we look at portals of interest. I revert a week back to showcase St. Margaret Mary Church in South Windsor Connecticut, opened in 1963. It evokes the past with its many beautiful stained glass windows, these offering a view of Christ bearing the burden of the cross and his Crucifixion - leading to his resurrection on Easter.

We attended a first Communion of a great nephew and loved the look of the church, and with my wheelchair seemingly in mind, great egress into the building - and the lovely seating for disabled users up front in the sanctuary. It was a great day of worship, beauty and celebration...looking forward to your links

SOOC - Cross and crown

I spotted an amazing Straight out of the Camera (SOOC) last week at after a First Communion held at St. Margaret-Mary Church in South Windsor Connecticut. During the 50 day Easter season, through Pentecost) a cross is placed on the floor and is illuminated by floor lamps. What is so interesting here is the shadow that rises above the cross - it looks like a crown, which is so fitting - scripture notes Christ as the 'King of Kings', the shadow agrees...

Shadow Shot Sunday - They should be dancing (yeah)

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 returns one week after a big event, a party after a First Communion. At the venue, the deejay attempts to get the dressed up kids ready to dance on the hardwood floor as the not as energetic grownups sit, watch and perhaps capture them in action. Ah, to be young and mobile again...
