Shadow Shot Sunday - Tuesday Concert in Derby

Shadowy singer and saxophonist 

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back - we eagerly looks for shadows to fall and drape themselves over as many appropriate shadows as possible - and we are able to find and harvest when found...The time was last week, and the place was nearby Derby on the city green by the gazebo for the free summer concerts. Today the really fun act 'Dr Ya Ya's Dirty Rice Revue', Connecticut musicians that play songs by New Orleans artists and songwriters (we know by tune if not title)

Well defined early evening lighting

This was not just a warm and humid evening of a highly energetic and fun music (an improvisational R&B) on a small town green, there were also late afternoon shadows all over the pavilion and band...what better than this for (1) free and (2) SSS2?

This old song was played by Dr YaYa in a similar raucous style: Sea Cruise, by NOLA songwriter Huey 'Piano' Smith and artist Frankie Ford

Tina's WW - Two year old tots

The kids were two years of once, and birthday parties were held to celebrate with cake, presents and fun...see Tina's WW!

Tina's Pic Story - Azure

Intercostal Waterway near Stuart, Florida, Dec. 1980

Wetlands near Jensen Beach Florida, Dec. 1980

Tina is back with the fun weekly picture meme Pic Story. Simply, she thoughtfully provides the theme which this week is azure. To me, this is a color that fits the waters of Florida and a trip there many decades ago. The inland waterway and the swamp have azure blue waters that have remained while scanned from the old prints. A lovely color and a great subject this week!

Ruby Tuesday - Treats, red and frozen

Ruby Tuesday 2 today takes us on a Sunday drive for a spot of ice cream. We drove into the country to Billy's Ice cream in Bethany Connecticut, perhaps 25-30 minutes from Ansonia along two-lane Route 63. A place with a hint of charm, and with hints of ruby to offer a desert after the desert (I had Moose Tracks, and it was delicious. Butterfat in moderation is all that's needed :).....Patti even wrote about it in her New Haven Register blog View From the Valley and her continuing series of local places for ice cream and even took a picture of the trio of treats. I ought to lose some weight - but not today...

Whimsical Windows - Wheelchair height

Toby hosts the fun architectural meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors. We add interesting details that we note on our travels. I captured this at a less than optimal height along State Street in Boston. I am not sure what era this is from, but the columns, arches and non-round turrets do combine to offer a truly unique building. Perhaps while juggling the camera when seated in my wheels I cut the bottom off - but the view upstairs is fun!
