Shadow Shot Sunday - Shadowy Route

It's Shadow Shot Sunday 2 time again. Last Sunday, we participated at the  CDR Wheel-a-Thon. This was a walk/roll benefit event for a cross-disability center for independent living. Held along Long Island Sound in West Haven CT, the day started cloudy, but in less than an hour, the southerly autumnal sun shone bright and warm (77°F / 25°C). Perfect day and route for shadows of course...taken by the always lovely Patti, one being Allegra walking past a spilled water bottle and goldenrod lining part of the route. Nice event, day and shadows. A nice trifecta :)

Wordless Wednesday - Wheel-a-Thon 2015

Yesterday was the Wheel-a-Thon to benefit the cross disability non-profit Center for Disability Rights in West Haven, CT. While it looks like I was leading, I was actually catching up to my team, Daughter Allegra poses and the Long Island Sound murk gave way to sunny skies...see WW

Ruby Tuesday Too - Ruby event

We look for ruby artifacts and such in homage to our favorite color for Ruby Tuesday Too. This view from yesterday was taken at 10th annual Wheel-A-Thon along Long Island Sound in West Haven Connecticut. This walk/roll is a benefit the nonprofit and cross-disability Center for Disability Rights. Red details abound in the signs, banners, flag and clothing. Here the singer sings the national anthem before the walkers and wheelchair rollers beginning their start along the course. This is a nice event for a nice cause and highlighting our favorite hue...

SOOC - After the 5K Cooldown

We look for gems for Straight Out of the Camera - SOOC, that right now shot that might explain the details of the subject a bit more. Here is my nephew Adam, aged 8, after he completed the annual Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital 5K walk run in June. He actually ran the entire course and here after removing his shirt, sitting and seemingly in thought. Adam looks to be in thought, perhaps with the satisfaction that he succeeded in completing the course for a cause. He is a great kid...

Shadow Shot Sunday - Stephen's 40th Back in Time...

 

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back, and my subject is the 40th birthday party for my nephew Stephen. theme was the the 1980s. You'd never guess his age, being as youthful as anyone I know - and a great guy! And even more a brave soul, as he loves the NHL Montreal Canadiens while living in Boston where the local Bruins fans hate Les Habitants more than any other hockey team (he also loves the NY Yankees, a real faux pas in the heart of Red Sox Nation)...Anyway, the 1980s styles, music and  ambience at the restaurant were perfect for this decade I remember: The generally reserved me wore a Pac Man Ghost shirt, there was also Def Leppard, Cabbage Patch dolls, Run DMC, a Back to the Future/Pac Man/Rubik's Cube cake and the 1980s Weird Al. As yes, I remember it all :)
