SOOC - Reviewing Stand

For Straight out of the Camera (SOOC), we have views from the Memorial Day Parade in our small city of Ansonia (CT). At the reviewing stand, the Connecticut Hurricanes band is playing for the officials in the reviewing stand. In sequence, we can almost hear the brass instruments at work, note by note...

Shadow Shot Sunday - Parade prancers and ponies


My subjects for this week's meme Shadow Shot Sunday 2 were taken in our small city of Ansonia Connecticut at its annual Memorial Day Parade. A delightful day of modest temps (74ºF / 23ºC) and low humidity made it a fine day to march and/or watch. And what makes for a crowd favorite other than the majestic and docile equines who marched? The horses and riders were as one, as each horse and pony received copies applause from every spectator - and left nice shadows along Main Street too...

Shadow Shot Sunday - Spring sun



It is a glorious Spring day in the Ansonia Uplands, if quite chilly (54°F / 13°C) for 23 May, with lots of sun. 

As we are awaiting for someone to haul away our old queen size bed (mattress, headboard, etc.), I found mundane subjects for Shadow Shot Sunday 2 as I wheeled around the driveway. 

Using my old cheap Droid phone camera, the driveway contained bold shadows of the Grand Caravan (and myself in my 'directors chair), and the old Malibu quite nicely - these pixelated views are a mere 30 minutes old. 

It will be sunny and 75°F tomorrow...a better representation of the season!
