Friday’s Hunt 2016-2.17

It is time again for Teresa's fun meme Friday Hunt. Every Friday we are give clues and we endeavor to meet these clues, so I am ready!

Starts with 'Q'. The New York City borough of Queens is a perfect 'Q', this shot from early 1961 in the parking lot of Kiddy City in Douglaston a long gone amusement park. The kiddies here are my sisters Michele, Claudia and Vicki, the car Grandpa's 1961 Dodge Seneca...

And to keep the 'Q' in focus, how about these quintet of quackers on the Housatonic River in Shelton, CT

Week's Favorite. Now that we have our magnets advertising our Valley-Voice LLC e-publishing business on my van, it stands out nicely. Here is a favorite view of subject vehicle in downtown Derby, CT

Fall/Spring. Patti captured the autumnal colors of the lower Naugatuck River valley. Taken from the hilltop of Osbornedale State Park, the treetop hues are a wonderful look at the season. Thanks Teresa!

Friday Hunt, 2016.2.11

Friday rolls around and a favorite meme of mine, hosted by Teresa, is back, Friday Hunt. She provides the clues and we look for the pics...

Starts with K: I am looking at a variety of subjects, and I chose a few that may work well and these are…Kids, Kansas and Kettle Korn (which could have been as a yellow clue)

Kids. First day of school, ours in the jumper and red shorts. Ansonia, CT, 08/28/1996

Kansas. My dad at the CO/KS state line; guess the Summer of 1938

Kettle Corn by Giggles, Ansonia, CT

Yellow or Gold: Although I prefer the warmth of Summer, I acknowledge that autumn will occur, so a couple of autumnal pics (2013, I think) help to go for the gold. Taken by our front door (L) and our unkempt forsythia. Thanks again Teresa!

A Revised blog...and Shadow Shot Sunday 2

What gives with Blogger? Since 2007,  Airhead 55 was my blog. but it has begun to act wonky, moving the sidebar below the posts (instead of the right side) and made every word of every post bold italic. I hadn't ordered that change and no amount of editing could change it. So I am creating a new blog which, not surprisingly, is now Airhead-55. Hopefully this layout will work, and perhaps those malevolent Blogger fiends forced necessary updates to the blog ('tho I wasn't rally offered a choice)...

For this Shadow Shot Sunday 2, I offer a pic of a tree taken on Monday in our neighboring town of Seymour. The foliage has peaked this week in Southern New England. And with the heavy rain on Wednesday, a lot of leaves litter the ground. The shadows add a great enhancement to the autumnal beauty we have been blessed with...
