Wordless Wednesday - Summer concerts are over for the year...

Wednesday summer evenings concerts next to City Hall are done for the season. All Funk'd Up, a  fun Connecticut band, are not just fun to listen to - but for wordless pics too, despite the video...See WW

Ruby Tuesday Too - Appetizers

                                                                                              
For Ruby Tuesday Too, we look for colorful, and perhaps tasty ruby red goodness. At my niece's wedding (Julie and Luis), this appetizer tray of fruits and vegetables has quite a ruby hue for the pre-dinner reception. Tomatoes, peppers, strawberries and grapes enhance the platter and leave lovely shades of red abound!

Whimsical Windows - West Village Eatery


For Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors, we look for portals and such of interest - or maybe even historic. I was not able to attend this fine eatery in Manhattan, but the always lovely Patti did. This was taken at a table by the courtyard of One If By Land, Two If By Sea in the West Village. The history shows this restaurant housed in a carriage house once owned by Aaron Burr (famous for being an early VP of the us, and more infamously his duel with Alexander Hamilton). 

This view is great, history, nature and great food (I am told :). I am unsure if my wheelchair might be accommodated and sure it may be too pricey for me - but this is great seating for dinner!

SOOC - Wedding Pictures



Finding unexpected events when they were not sought makes for nice subjects for this week's SOOC - Straight Out of the Camera. We arrived for the wedding of my niece Julie to the great Luis, and after we parked our vehicle, we saw a picture shoot in process of the couple, and captured same. A beautiful couple on a beautiful day at a lovely hotel venue having their pictures captured unknowns to the couple makes for a nice straight out of the camera memory...

Shadow Shot Sunday - Wedding


It has been a week since the wedding of the year (for an extended family that is), and the outdoor ceremony was of a perfect day for an outdoor wedding - with shadows too. 

Thus for Shadow Shot Sunday 2, I return to the exquisite Avon Old Farms Hotel. Our son came up from Brooklyn with his new suit (and being the great kid he is, he brought two new ties for the new suit and let his mom pick the tie :) and the always lovely Patti and our daughter with their new dresses. 

So while I looked for shadows, I found a few...what a great day, and congrats to the lovely newlyweds Julie and Luis!
