Shadow Shot Sunday - Shadowy Savin Rock

We aim to find shadowy art in our travels for Shadow Shot Sunday 2, ant any event or venue. So this is the room where dinner would be served at a recent event. The building is the attractive Savin Rock Conference Center, the shadows are filtering in nicely and on a nice day, Long Island Sound saltwater estuary looks as blue as ever. Thus the alliterative mix of Sound, sun, surf and shadow makes for a fun evening...  

Wordless Wednesday - Historical Naugatuck Valley

This is a train layout at the Derby Historical Society (DHS) that was built to evoke the past with a layout that covers the Shelton, Derby and Ansonia CT communities in the early 1920s. Of course, I also feature our darling daughter and DHS docent Allegra (obvious bias :). Is the detailing accurate? I'm not old enough (yet) to say! See WW 

Ruby Tuesday Too - Rum cake rubies

We lookout many items in our lives, but seem to be dawn to that arresting red color. So this week's Ruby Tuesday Too take me to the nearby town of Shelton (CT) and a new bakery/eatery Lighthouse Rum Cakes with a total of four rubies, sized largest to smallest: The awning, the'OPEN' sign, the patron inside and the exit sign over the door. I haven't sampled their products, but if there as tasty as the rubies, I'd rather not wait...

Whimsical Windows - The Duplex

The weekly meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors compels us to look at unique architectural detailing any place, anywhere. The always lovely Patti captured this gem last week in New York City West Village of Manhattan, and this being The Duplex. A cabaret theatre that calls visually to anyone with this very unique entryway. She captured it with a phone, and the deep blue surrounding the sign showcases this very unique place...

SOOC - Red Sky

Pictures can leave a confusing impact to the viewer. So for this edition of Straight out of the Camera - SOOC, I am using a photo captured by the always lovely Patti in 2010, this being in Boston at the Red Sky. This was taken vertically from the sidewalk...but I see this as horizontal, too. I am imagining a passenger ferry, looking toward the bow, and the striped awnings look almost like long passenger benches. Is it upward - or outward? It may depend on the viewer...
